UPDATE- I finally field tested this and it didn't do so well. As a container, it's OK, but as a dispenser, not so great. Too often you get multiple pills popping out into your mouth. I'd look for a better design if I were you...
First, a disclaimer: I am suspicious of the efficacy of salt to relieve or prevent muscle-associated-cramps. Lack of a scientific explanation plus lots of unsubstantiated hoo-ha and sales-pitchery is what leads me to this suspicion.
Second, a testimony: The only time I have ever run more than a 50K trail-run WITHOUT serious muscle-cramping is when I dosed myself with salt pills every hour.
Then another disclaimer: I don't know how food-safe 3d-printer PLA is. Make up your own mind about it.
So, with all that in mind, I wanted a way to store and conveniently dispense up to 10 salt pills whilst running. This means it must be able to operate without me looking at it, without taking the lid completely off so that I didn't spill them all.
