Summary

This is a customizable snap-fit pill box, perfect for organizing daily medication. I designed it to be printable in Glow-in-the-Dark PLA so it's easy to find in the dark!

This project includes 4 main versions of the lid, each featuring a different number of notches. This allows you to choose your preferred opening/closing "click" force.

To ensure a perfect fit on any 3D printer, each version is provided in 3 different tolerance files (0.1mm, 0.2mm, and 0.3mm).

In total, you are downloading 12 STL files to find the perfect one for your setup.

Version Details (Notches)

Choose the fit you prefer:

V1 (16 Notches): Provides a very secure, tight fit. (Hard to open, good for travel).

V2 (8 Notches): A standard, secure "click" fit. (Recommended).

V3 (4 Notches): A lighter fit. Easy to open and close.

V4 (No Notches): A simple, smooth friction-fit version with no clicking mechanism.

Tolerance Details (How to Choose)

This refers to the gap between the lid and the box.

0.1mm Tolerance: For highly calibrated printers. This provides a very precise, tight fit. (Confirmed working on my printer with PLA).

0.2mm Tolerance: The standard tolerance. If you are unsure, I recommend you print this file first as a test.

0.3mm Tolerance: For printers that tend to over-extrude or if you want a guaranteed looser fit.

Example: The file V2_8-Notch_0.2mm.stl is Version 2 (8 notches) with the standard 0.2mm tolerance.

Please post your makes! I would love to see which version and tolerance worked best for you, especially with different filaments. Happy printing!
