Easy Access Ramps!
 

PillToid incorporates easy access ramps to help you to remove tiny items so they are not caught in the corner where you can't catch your finger on it. Try it yourself! Catch a small item with your finger and drag it towards the front of the section where the easy access ramp is located. The item can be removed easily without becoming caught in the corner of the box!

PIllToid's Easy Access ramp allows small items to easily be removed. Drag any small item towards the ramp to allow it to be removed easily!

Usage

You know that you always wanted one of these! Why dispose of those nice Altoid mint tin boxes, put them to good use!

PillToid can be used as your pill reminder box for your daily medication. There are sections labeled for each day of the week, plus an Extra section for carrying some mints with you (or any other extra items).

NOTE: Please keep PillToid out of the hands of children when containing medication as they may not understand that it no longer contains edible candy!
 

PillToid can also be used as a small fishing tackle box to help organize your fly fishing lures, hooks, swivels, etc.

PillToid is also helpful when disassembling anything with a lot of small screws or other small parts, so they don't get lost or dropped on the floor. It helps you to organize the different screw sizes so you don't lose track of the different sizes (especially useful when removing the rear cover of the Bambu X1 as it has two different type of screws which should not be mixed up)!
 

Printing

There is a single color print profile, as well as a two color profile. You can print it using PLA or almost any other filament* you have on hand. There are no special requirements, however I did turn off the Aux fan to help ensure it wouldn't warp on the build plate. There are no real overhangs, so you can use your favorite build plate, color, filament, etc.

Want to save time and filament? Use the sIngle color print profile, then color the letters with a permanent marker.

Why throw away all your poop when printing a 2 color PillToid? I also included a print profile that will allow you to purge to a second object, a second PillToid of course!

This works perfectly and you end up with two PillToids, give one to a friend or just use it yourself!
