A drug delivery device including a housing, a drug storage container, and a removable cap is provided. The housing includes a housing camming feature and a longitudinal axis and includes an opening. The drug storage container includes a delivery member having an insertion end configured to extend at least partially through the opening during a delivery state. The removable cap defines a cap camming feature and is configured to be removably coupled with the housing such that the removable cap has a storage position where the removable cap is coupled with the housing and at least partially covering the opening and a removed position where the removable cap is not coupled with the housing. The cap camming feature and the housing camming feature are configured to translate rotational motion into axial motion such that, upon rotational movement of the removable cap, the cap camming feature and/or the housing camming feature urge the removable cap along the longitudinal axis. The housing camming feature and the cap camming feature are each visible to a user of the drug delivery device to signal the camming function of the housing camming feature and the cap camming feature.
