The 7-day Pill Box is a 3D-printed pill organizer designed to store and separate pills for a seven-day period. The model features seven individual compartments with print-in-place hinged lids, allowing for easy access without additional assembly or post-processing.
This project provides pre-designed, ready-to- models in several sizes to accommodate different pill types and quantities. From small daily tablets to larger supplements, the available sizes (Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, and Tall) ensure flexibility to meet a variety of needs.
The pill box is optimized for 3D printing and is designed to be printed as a single piece without the need for s. It is functional, compact, and suitable for everyday use. While not completely sealed and intended only for pills (not powders), its practical design is lightweight and easy to carry.
Disclaimer
Despite the significant effort to design this pill container for technical feasibility and ease of use, no food certification, drug tests, or other related certifications have been conducted. All information about the pill box is provided "as-is" without warranties. The author assumes no liability for any loss or damage resulting from the use, misuse, or reliance on this project.
3D Printing Recommendations
To ensure a successful print, follow these guidelines:
Material: Use food-safe materials such as PETG, PLA, or HIPS. Avoid filaments with additives like carbon, glass, glitter, or glow-in-the-dark pigments.
Nozzle Size: 0.4 mm nozzle is recommended.
Layer Height: 0.2 mm for the best balance of speed and quality.
Wall Thickness: 0.8 mm (2 perimeters with a 0.4 mm nozzle).
Infill: 15% is sufficient; the internal design minimizes the need for extensive infill.
s: Not required; the model is designed with print-in-place hinges and overhangs up to 45°.
Bed Adhesion: Skirt or brim may be added if needed, depending on the printer and material combination.
Custom Sizes
For those who need a customized size, the source model is available and can be modified to fit individual requirements. By adjusting key parameters such as compartment dimensions, wall thickness, and hinge gaps, s can create a pill box tailored to their specific needs. Detailed instructions and recommendations for modifying these parameters can be found in the accompanying documentation.
To make these modifications, you will need Autodesk Inventor 2025 software and at least basic skills in parametric modeling. Familiarity with changing parameters and navigating the software’s interface is essential. The accompanying documentation provides recommendations and guidance for modifying the model’s key parameters, ensuring the changes are both functional and printable.

Final Note
This project is shared as a creative and practical solution for organizing pills or supplements, but it comes with no guarantees or certifications regarding safety for medical or food-related use. Always test the printed model for functionality and use appropriate, food-safe materials if needed.
If you encounter any issues, feel free to consult the accompanying documentation or adapt the model to your specific requirements. Happy printing!
