Novolin Insulin Case by AdamRW17

UPDATE: I have also successfully printed this in flexible material like Ninjaflex, and honestly I think the flexible version offers better protection! Also, I made "slim edition" of these that has a larger viewing window, check it out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2882427
Made a simple two piece case for insulin vials, these are specifically dimensioned for Novolin (N and R) but they MIGHT fit other vials (If someone sends me dimensions I can modify it to fit those too.
2 versions, one with 2 windows and one with 6, more windows gives a better view of how much insulin you have left, but only 2 windows gives the highest amount of rigidity
First pressure fit the cap around the head of the vial (rounded side up) then slide that into the vial, It might take a tiny bit of sanding depending on your printer, but it should be very snug to avoid slipping out. I recommend either PLA or PETG to avoid shrinkage but I have successfully printed in ABS too. To remove the vial, simply push from the hole in the bottom with either your finger or a blunt tool that wont scratch or break glass
This was able to withstand a full under-hand toss on the street with no damage to the vial and only slight scratching on the case, I don't know the full strength of this design but it is plenty strong for everyday life
