I wanted an adjustable pill caddy for traveling. I wanted something that could adjust based on the number of days I would be traveling.
This model has 3 parts. Top (Lid), Middle (Mid), Bottom (Base).
The middle part is threaded on top and bottom so they can infinitely stack to the number of days desired.
I printed at .20mm Quality setting.
Update* Prusa slicer gives a warning about needed supports but I never used supports on my PLA+ prints. Your millage may vary, would love to get any feedback.
Post Printing Note:
After printing you may need to work the threads a little to make them smooth. I added a little petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to the threads (see picture) to help smooth them out then wiped it off with a paper towel. Once the threads are used a little, they become very smooth.

I have added v2 of the models. This version has slightly better thread heights to allow the section s to fight tighter together when printing with 0.15. Also added different sizes for the middle sections:
| v2-Pill-Lid | Standard Lid |
| v2-Mid-Taller 35 | 35mm Taller height |
| v2-Mid-Taller 30 | 35mm Taller height |
| v2-Pill-Mid-Standard (25) | 25mm Original Height |
| v2-Mid-Short 20 | 20mm Shorter height |
| v2-Pill-Base | Standard Base |
*Note: Still not sure how to force the vertical lines to align every time. I'm playing with v3 that used knurling instead.
EDIT-UPDATE - 2023-11-28
I have added models with250px thicker sides in the threads. These new models (identified with “-Thicker Wall” are the same design and are compatible but with thicker walls (ie: the center diameter is slightly smaller). This should help printers that were having a hard time with the thin wall on the original version.
