I love functional pieces, and I think taking my meds is extremely boring to the point where I don’t even want to muster up the energy to open a bottle. I did think about a pez dispenser like Shane, and shoutout to him for posting his stuff because it helped me stop second guessing my own project and post it. I used to love playing with anything with small moving parts. The little model cars always made me so happy if I could find one that had a door or trunk that opened. I found a model truck I liked on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:891393) and turned it into a sort of food truck for medication. Having a tiny delivery truck would give me a touch of motivation to take my meds everyday, and I think that an important part of staying happy is to enjoy the small things, this will only help with that. I added in a little me to drive the truck, but there’s no actual steering wheel because I feel like I don’t have much control over my medication, there’s nothing I can do to improve its chances of having the desired effects. The bars on the back are to keep the medication from falling out the back window but also because sometimes the idea of needing to take something everyday is a bit stifling. I put a menu on the truck because my meds are oftentimes changing so much I wanted the truck to be customizable. I’m thinking of adding a little strip of something that allows for a dry erase marker to be used on it.




Currently if you wanted to store a lot of meds in here you would have to flip it vertically to open it without spilling the contents, so I may have to change that back design in the future.
This is so cute! What a fun spin on something that is often seen as not very fun. From seeing the design pulled off thingiverse, to what you have made it is amazing. I think a suggestion I have is to possibly add something like a pill bottle on top like they noramlly have an ice cream cone on top of the ice cream truck.
Hi Amanda! I love this idea, and I appreciate the lively design for things that seem not as great. Would you consider altering the dimensions to fit a larger amount of pills? Or adjusting the design as a whole?
Hey Amanda! I really appreciate your design and its functionality. If I may add a suggestion, I was thinking you could paint the tires to add some contrast and detail! Im excited to see the final product!
