Oh man, i need to carry pills with me - am i old? :-)
(answer: not really, could happen anytime)

There are lots of good/excellent pill boxes around, i wanted a minimal one, that i can carry around in my jeans watch pocket.

I personally have to take 2 pills a day and that's what i made it for. :-)
I fill it in the evening for the next day and so it‘s easy for me to keep track of my daily dosage by just looking into the box. (All gone? Either lost it or i‘m doing fine. :-))
I added a keyring hole, so that i can take a spare one on my keys with me.

That was a lot of „i“, now for the thing:

There are two versions of the body part: 7 mm and 10 mm. 
This measurement is the net height of the pills you can carry with it. 
In my case this means 2 pills with the 7mm version and 3 pills with the 10 mm version.

The diameter of the pills can be up to 9.5 mm (it's 10 mm inside).

The part tolerances are chosen to get an easy but safe mechanism.
After 3 or 4 times of open/close action the thread works perfectly fine.

I printed mine at 0.15mm layer height with Prusament PLA on my MK3s+ and the lid and body go perfectly together.

Maybe somebody is looking for a similar thing and can use this.
Feel free to share your color combinations, it is always nice to see some filaments.

Technical stuff:

The .stl files are oriented print-ready, just download, slice at your liking and print. :-)
- weight is only around 2.5 grams
- uses only around 0.8 m of filament
- prints in around 20 minutes (slow and low :-))

Personal Stuff:

If you like this very much, coffee keeps me awake and productive :-)
