For some reason I can only find stock images of this pill case. I have it on good authority it makes a satisfying clicking noise and my gay, neurodivergent ass wants one.
Ideally not an Amazon link, I deleted my account a bit ago and I do not plan to make a new one.
UPDATE: It would seems this is a prepackaged way E is sometimes distributed. Thanks to folks that pointed this out.
Looks a lot like the packaging for the birth control i took in my teens. It wasn’t refillable. Little preloaded foil things that fit into a dial thing in a clamshell.
Hi! I have a background in micro/molecular biology, public health, and safety. For a time, I worked for a company developing 3D printer technology and not only helped create their safety program, I did a fair amount of industrial hygiene work to determine what people were getting exposed to and how to handle those hazards.
Things printed in PLA are not food safe because things printed with it are full of ridges, inclusions, and other surface irregularities that are difficult to remove and can harbor microbes that resist cleaning. Pure PLA is food safe. In fact, it’s often the type of plastic used to coat the inside of paper hot beverage cups.
Although various additives are present in 3D printer filament, it’s safe to use unless OP begins eating the printed item along with their pills.
I believe you can use a resin 3D printer to make food safe items, as it doesn’t have the same issue with surface fissures. Is that correct? I’ve been considering one to be able to print food safe items, including for storing medications.
Please don’t use resin printers for food safe items. Resin in general is harmful when ingested. Small particles can come off the printed item and will find their way into your body.
Thanks heaps to you and @SoleInvictus for the super quick responses about how bad of an idea this would be! It’s nice to see this sort of looking out for a user’s wellbeing here on lemmy, that was always one of the things I felt made reddit great back in the day.
Resin/SLA/DLP has the same issue with surface imperfections due to layer lines, it’s just harder to see because they’re often a lot smaller.
Resin is also typically an irritant and a sensitizer, meaning its effects can get worse with repeated exposure. That primarily applies to uncured resin, but it’s not unusual to have partially cured resin or even totally uncured resin in inclusions in your print.
Yes? I believe so, but I also take two different shaped pills, both twice a day. I’d be happy with a disk for each or a disk that only does 1 week and has an opening that provides pills in pairs. Or something similar.
Give me a bit to go dig out my calipers and I’ll get you some dimensions!
Presumably you can spin it more the 360 degrees so the opening could be repositioned over already empty slots, but that doesn’t really count as “refillable” given how slow of a process that would be.
No, as I said there’s a tiny plastic that prevents it from turning while the current slot is occupied. Unless you break that off or fill it with half pills you just can’t spin it while filling
