First Aid Kit Rugged Box

First Aid Kit rugged box for storing quick access to first aid essentials. Internal dimensions are 150mm x 150mm x 50mm - about 6" x 6" x 2" to hold plenty of useful supplies and still not take up a lot of room.

Great for the home, work, car, workshop, camping, and anywhere a compact first aid kit could be useful, yet large enough to hold useful items during a first aid emergency.

The rugged box is of my own design, not a remix of any others. To assemble, you will need 4, 3mm x 50mm pins. I use these: https://a.co/d/06UJCJyv . These press-fit into the hinges and latches. The hinge and latch side portions use a friction fit to hold the pin in place, while the rotating portion of the hinge and latch are slightly larger and rotate freely. Be sure and print the “gasket” in TPU, it slips into the “lid” portion and provides a water-resistant seal, and also provides a bit of “squish” for the latches to engage properly.

Parts Needed

1. 4 pins (I use these) - https://a.co/d/06UJCJyv
2. First Aid Kit Refill Supplies (see below for suggestions)

Pack it with the essentials that are suitable for your needs. There are many first-aid kit refill packs available. I used items from this pack, but there are many others that may suit your needs better. I also put in some blood-clotting treatment because my father is on blood thinners and even a small cut can be dangerous. In additional to those, I put in some insect sting treatment for the kids (and adults, too!). So I combined items from these three first-aid refill and supplies. These are my personal choices, and may change over time. You can fill it with what is important for you, of course. :-)

1. First Aid Refill - bandages, burn dressing, sterile wipes, tape, scissors, etc: https://a.co/d/03d4vJSH
2. First Aid Powder for Blood Clotting Trauma Kit - for stopping moderate to severe bleeding: https://a.co/d/08HUziNH
3. Insect Sting Relief Pads - temporary pain relief for insect bites, minor burns, and scrapes: https://a.co/d/0e6FUgvH

Whether you use this model or not, I do recommend having a first aid kit nearby in places you frequent, as you never know when an accident may occur. And having the essentials quickly available on-hand could save valuable time in treating you or your patient, and possibly even save a life!
