Pill Boxes

OpenSCAD has default values for the number of faces in its representations of spheres. When the command "sphere(r=2);" is entered a 16 sided polyhedron is formed that looks like two seven sided pill boxes stuck together. Pill_Box_01.stl is made from a portion of this 16 sided polyhedron. It has sloping sides, and while attractive, is difficult to print. Pill_Box_02.stl is a simpler box with seven vertical sides. It has room for a few more pills and is perhaps easier to print. Both boxes are labeled with the days of the week.

Two lids, held in place by a pin, are provided. One is a simple flat lid with a built in pin. The second lid has raised edges and uses a separate pin. Images of the lids are shown at the left. Code for the lid with pill pockets is included in lid_nice.scad.
