Description

A large and easy to use pill box with a magnetic lid that makes it very convenient to refill. Little bumps in the body and dents in the lid provide a satisfying tactile feel to the rotation of the lid.

This model has 7 slots, and is available in normal and extra tall sizes.
If you'd like a bigger one, try my 14 slot version.
For those who prefer a non-magnetic solution, You can try my older version, which also has 7 slot and 14 slot options.

 

This model requires 2 magnets of 15x2mm. smaller diameter will also work but having good magnetic strength is important to stop the lid from falling off if handled a little roughly.

The magnet in the main body can simply be glued in place with some super-glue.

To insert the magnet into the lid, you need to add an M600 pause into the gcode (most slicers have this option) in the right place.

To get the same kind of dual color effect on the lid, simply place an M601 color change in the gcode, or use the painting feature of prusa slicer.

The body can be printed in any material. I would recommend printing the lid out of a transparent material with some flex to it. I've personally used PETG and nylon for this in the past.

 

- Please take note -

This model is specifically designed around a 0.4mm nozzle and I can not guarantee a good result if you use a bigger nozzle.

To finetune how much force is required to rotated the lid you can simply flex the lid up a little bit, so that it holds onto the bumps less tightly
