Magnetic board game bits trays

Update 10/18/2020: I've added my Fusion 360 design. It is parameterized so that you can adjust the lengths of each side, the size of the magnets, etc.

These are 60mm x 60mm trays with holes for 6mm x 2mm circle magnets on all 4 sides. Perfect for storing board game pieces during play. Trays stack well due to a mating chamfer on top and bottom. The chamfers are 45 degrees, and should generally be printable without any supports.

Please post your makes! I'd love to see what people do with this design.

The magnets I used are here, though any 6mm x 2mm magnets should work:

Make sure to alternate the magnet direction as you go around each single tray to ensure that every tray will connect properly to every other tray. I press-fit most of my magnets, and use a dab of super glue for any magnets that don't stay in.
