There's a few good pill dispensers here already, but I wanted something to help me learn Fusion 360 so I decided to design my own. My criteria were that I wanted it to be easy to use and easy to refill; secure enough to safely store a week's worth of the various medications my doctors like me to take, easy to see the day names (without having to put on my glasses), and I wanted it to be reasonably pleasing to the eye.
I also wanted something easy to print that doesn't require any supports, or any non-printable parts.
After much trial and error, and quite a few variations, I'm finally happy with the result (and I have learned a lot about how to do stuff in Fusion 360!).
Printer : Anet A8
Rafts : No
Supports : No
Resolution : 0.2mm (or more or less)
Infill : 30%
Notes : I got the nice pattern on the lid by creating a few symmetrical indents and printing using concentric infill on the outer layers. I'm also using a metallic PLA (PLA-Steel from 3D-Fillies in Melbourne) which highlights the filament lines. I've used two colors in the models shown in the pictures - gold and brass, and printed two examples - each with the colors reversed..
How I designed this
Designed from scratch using Fusion 360 and a bit of imagination.

Printed in "clear" PETG at 150 microns. It doesn't come out really clear but more like ice. I like the way it came out.
