I needed a better portable option than just having the oil bottles in my jacket pocket. This is a simple hinged storage container modeled to the specific pipette bottles in the BOM. The precise measurements of mine can be found under "Good to know" below, in case you want to use different bottles. If you do, ensure they are ≤104mm tall and no more than 32.2mm in diameter.
As these oils need to be shaken before every use, I made sure to model the height of the cutouts as close to the height of the bottles as possible in order to prevent them rattling around.
Use a piece of filament as hinge. It's a tight fit, but that's intentional
The hinge and container itself both have embedded magnets in them for a very secure, satisfying fit. In the .3mf file, I have added pauses in the print for when it's time to embed the magnets. There are two in both parts.
When printing the second part - whichever one it is - do yourself a favor and use the already printed part as a magnet direction guide. Go ahead, ask me how I know...
Just take two magnets, plop them on to the part, and use the part itself to align the magnets in the correct orientation.
It's a snug fit. Glue is unnecessary.
I decided to model this in a way that I could print it standing up even though it's bad practice to print a hinge like that. This is why the hinge is quite beefy. I have not experienced any issues however and could probably slim down the hinge ever so slightly if I needed to. If you wanna give that a go, the .step files should be easy enough to edit.
