My mother has had several surgeries on her wrist over the years and has lost much of her hand dexterity. She loves traveling and asked me for a pillcase a while ago. So I set out to make something with four specific goals in mind.

1. Easy to open for anyone (preferably a way to dump one slot of pills quickly)
2. Sturdy and secure to survive being thrown around during travel
3. Relatively compact for an upcoming trip packing constraints
4. Fit large pills and vitamins that are too big for most compact models

This pillcase feels safe throwing in a bag and is still easy to open! Win-win!
 

Features

• Easy print-in-place design, no supports needed
• Optimized for 0.20mm layer height for fast, clean prints
• All chamfered/filleted edges are ≤45° means no difficult overhangs and no brim required
• Magnetic closure for extra security when traveling (four 6.0mm x 2.0mm)
   
• Multiple lid/body styles in single or double size + cutout versions of each style for non-AMS prints
• Seven deep slots will store many large pills (~ 34mm x 18mm x 20mm)
• Each slot has one 20° angled side to make it easier to slide pills out
   

Print Suggestions

If you are not using the provided print profiles, I suggest the following changes:

• Sparse infill = 15%, Gyroid
• Initial layer height = .42
• Only one wall on first layer = Yes
• Initial layer infill speed = 50mm/s
• Top/bottom shell layers = 4
   

Design Notes

Magnet holes were designed to fit four 6.0mm (D) x 2.0mm (H) N52 magnets with clearance. I was able to press them in and they stayed secured without glue.

Pill slot sizes are consistent for each slot per initial sketches—used the same sketch measurements for the double bins as well.

All chamfered/filleted edges are ≤45° and won't cause any difficult overhangs or require the use of a brim when sliced at 0.20mm layer height.

Happy printing!
