I needed a small, durable pillbox that could hold enough pills without accidentally opening or wearing out over time.
So, I designed this satisfying magnetic pillbox.
Specifications:
- Magnet size: 5×3 mm
- Compartment size: 52×30 mm
- Outer dimensions: 63.5×36.3 mm
Printing details:
- Printed at 0.1 mm layer height with a 0.2 mm nozzle.
- The design also works with a 0.4 mm nozzle at 0.2 mm layer height, though note that the inner box won’t have a backwall for the magnet in this case / it still holds tight and you can glue it to the sides of the hole.
Assembly notes:
- The magnets are press-fit into place (tight fit). For a permanent hold, you can add a tiny amount of glue on the side or bottom.
- To assemble:
- Press / glue the magnet into the inner box.
- Attach the second Magnet to the outer shell of the box.
- Apply a little glue at the bottom of the magnet, close the box, and let it set.
This design is compact, reliable, and satisfying to use — a perfect solution for safely storing your pills.
