@Fadobo_2435749 Thank you for the make and confirming size 1.
Hello, how are things going? I'm from Argentina and I liked your design, I hope it's not too much trouble to ask you if more capsule capacity could be added, (6x6 or 8x8) And another question: where did you learn to design and manufacture this type of products? I am interested in entering the world of 3D printing, greetings and thank you very much.
@NicoRomero_2127939 I can make any capacity 6x6, 8x8 you want with a few clicks. Just tell me exactly what you want and I’ll make it for you. But I need to know the size (0,1,2,3 etc) and capacity you want. I would suggest long and narrow for the capacity. Like 5x8. Other wise 8x8 gets to be so wide that it is awkward. In my opinion.
I learned 3D CAD by using OnShape.com. It’s free for personal use with some limitations. I just watched tutorial videos online as I needed to learn anything new.

200 Temp
Exactly what I was looking for. Works perfectly with size 2. I will probably go back and print the capsule fill tray on a higher quality setting to remove some of the imperfections. (edited)
Printed 00 Model. Came out great. Fitment seems good, just haven't test it while actually filling capsules yet.

@Mordiev It seems to work well for me so far. The hole size could be reduced and each post lengthened but I had no issues with it.
@Mordiev I attached a step file so others can more easily edit if they need too as well.
I printed this model and wanted to thank you. It works great! Just wish you could make one with more holes to fill more capsules at a time. I make spice capsules and need to make more than 25 as I drink 4 a day
@Zellies_1472241 What size and pill count(s) would you like? It is really easy for me to make the custom files.
@Mordiev you are too kind, thank you very much. I printed same size than this model, just need bigger pill count please, maybe if can fill 100 at a time. (edited)
Tamping tool would be appreciated! I printed the size 0 and it's a perfect fit and very useful tool!

@Mordiev The size 0 tamper isn't right for the size 0 tool originally printed, I guess I will have to reprint the whole thing (edited)
@r14n_765305 yeah. Sorry about that. I had two options. Either manually build a tamper tool for each size or change the whole design to be parametric. Meaning I have one design that I type in the sizes and it will rebuild the models. I chose that option but you are correct. I didn’t even think about it but yes that made the old models not fit the new tamping tools.
Would you be able to modify one for Size 3 capsules? Exact sizes of the bottom part of the capsule are as follows:
Diameter: 5.5mm
Height: 13.7mm
Thanks in advance!
@David_82237 I just added several sizes. But I don't have any empty capsules to test these with. Please let me know how the size 3 works for you.
Thank you.
Thanks! This worked great for me. I resized the bottom tray to accommodate for size "2" capsules. If you want size "2" capsule bottom resize the Z axis to 13.75mm or reduce percentage from 100% to 72.37%
