Description

PDF

General:

 A simple magnetic closure print in place container.

Why I designed this:

I wanted to keep Q-tips in the car without them getting filthy, and to play with print in place hinges while I was at it. 

Printing notes:

Layer height: .15 or finer is ideal, but aesthetic only

Recommended Material: PLA or better

Supports: None

Infill: 15% Gyroid or triangle

Walls: 2-3

Other Modifiers: Print as oriented

Material Quantity: ≈27grams

I printed from PLA on Centauri Carbon at .16 layer height with 15% rectilinear infill and 2 walls.

Magnets are a tight press fit, 2X Ø5mm, 2-3mm thickness should work, but it has only been tested with 2mm thickness so far.
