I am a moderate depressive patient, and I need to take four types of medication daily to maintain a normal state. Ever since I became fascinated with 3D printing, there has been a trend of improvement in my condition. Seeing that this competition is about designing a pill organizer, I thought of designing one for myself. I have used many types of pill organizers, and for me, the ones with integrated threaded connections are the most practical. I have reviewed all the entries in the competition, and they either require support for printing or need to be assembled. Coincidentally, I have recently been learning the Fusion 360 modeling software, and I thought of designing a pill organizer for myself that does not require support and can be freely assembled through threading.

I avoid the need for supports by extending the bottom of the compartments to the base.I designed structures that are circular, bisected, and trisected.

I used an M48*4mm thread, and I added a hole at the top through Bambu's slicing software to facilitate the insertion of a hanging ring.

For a beginner in modeling, it might not be particularly perfect, but at least, I can use it myself. By using different colors for printing and loading various types of medication, it has been very effective for me.If you need to categorize different pillboxes, you can embed text on their surfaces through the slicing software to distinguish them.

Although it might look a bit makeshift, it is very practical.The pillbox I designed is relatively large because I need to fit two weeks' worth of medication into it. Four pillboxes can hold medication for two weeks, accommodating over 70 pills. If you need it to be more compact for travel, you can scale it down yourself in the slicing software.

I don't expect to win any awards; I just hope that my experience can inspire others who are also suffering from depression to find their own hobbies and face the world positively.
