These HexHex-boxes (Small) are meant to store small things - on the wall.
In order to generate a nice hexagon look with them, but to get to your things, they have doors that can be opened via hinges.
The boxes have a Hexagon-mount on the back that can be hung in a wall hexagon.
This means that it can be lifted down again at any time and and the wall bracket is visible: a small hexagon.
The assembly is actually self-explanatory, but I have included an illustrated guide below.

Printing:
I use my MK4 with 0.4 Nozzle and the 0.20 mm STRUCTURAL Profil.
+ Organic supports from the print bed.
On the bottom part of the box I painted the supports of the wall bracket. Once the autimatic organic support didn't support enough (you can see it in a few pictures), so now I want to avoid that.
I'm still a beginner. Most of you will be more experienced with the detail settings. Feel free to share them in the comments.
First Print Job are the both Box-Parts. Second for the Doors.
The other accessories can be added to the two print jobs.
Optional: If you want a subdivision of the box, I have saved various inlays that you can print out in a third print job.
*************************
Assembling the box - illustrated Guide:
(1) Remove any supports from the grooves and glue the two halves of the box together at the grooves. There is some space between the two grooves for your glue.
Also glue the plane Area to assemble the wallmount, printed on the lower Box-Part to combine with the upper one.

(2) Put a small drop of glue in the recess for the magnet on the back of the door. Glue the magnet 10*2mm in the Door-recess. Now turn the door over and place the second magnet on the magnetic outside. Add a drop of glue in the recress of the small front hexagon Part. Place it on the magnet. To dry, divide the Door and Front-Hexagon-Magnet again.

(2.1) Optional Inlays: If you want your box to have different departments, it makes sense to insert them now. You can optionally glue them to the back, then they won't slip.
**
(3) Now place the box face up in front of you and place the first door on top of it so that the hinge is inside each other. Do the same with the second door.
You can now slide your metal rod or wire through the box and the doors into the hinges. I use a metal rod with a diameter of 2.6mm and 90mm Lenght. It fits in perfectly and at the same time sits so tightly that it does not slip out on the sides. The doors open and close smoothly.
If you don't have a well-fitting rod, take a longer version of a rod or wire and place nuts on the outside of the box to prevent them from slipping out. Maybe you will print the rod and the nuts?
*** Notice: It does not matter which door is placed at the top or bottom. You can do both. The box with the groove on the top and the magnet inside is opened second. I recommand to put these on top.***
(4) Now close the doors on the box so that the door grooves are on top of each other. The doors should work together to form a smooth plane. If not, make sure there is no more support in the grooves. Now place the magnetic hexagon on the doors so that the two magnets are exactly on top of each other. Note the position of the non-magnetic lower part and remove the hexagon. Place glue dots on the other door (without magnets) at the position of the hexagon. Now glue it in place.

Your box is ready!

Wall Mount
Surely there are other solutions to hang something on the wall. I chose the hexagon variant because I want to take the boxes off the wall, they can certainly carry weight and the little hexagons have a nice layout even without the box.
Use the hexagon wall mount and drill it against your wall.
The drill holes can be used with ordinary Tox screws and size 5 or 6 dowels - or max. M6 thread: the most important thing is that the head does not protrude beyond the surface and that it sits firmly on the wall.

You can now easily hook your box into the wall hexagon from above. And the next one next to it. And then another and ... … …

Some Pictures:
I still need to paint the wall that my boxes are for, so I've attached them to a piece of wood to show you what they might look like mounted. (i used M3 Thread and Nuts - it works but larger would be better - if you want to fix it on a board intead of a wall. Maximum is M6).

Optional Inlays:
To get the inserts into the box, it is better that the doors are not yet attached. If you want to add them later, simply remove the pins from the hinges to install them. I recommend sticking them to the back wall. If you want to put very heavy things in the box, also glue the sides to the hexagon walls.
Inlay: The Sun | Admittedly, a bit playful - but why not? :) I did not print yet. A Photo will follow | ![]() |
Inlay: 4 Departments | Divided into 4 compartments for your small belongings. I did not print yet. A Photo will follow | ![]() |
Inlay: 6 Departments | Divided into 6 compartments for your small belongings. | ![]() |
Inlay: Shelf | The shelf alone is the simplest inlay, but a bit more challenging to install. Use a small spirit level before gluing it down. Since it does not have a center bar to the floor, the shelf holds less weight than the others. | ![]() |
The box was my first own project that helped me get to know Fusion 360. I started with a larger model (based on a 25cm Polygon) that cost me too much filament when prototyping with my beginner mistakes. So I finalized the files of the small one. Hence the somewhat strange dimensions the HexHex-Box (Small) is scaled :
I haven't decided yet if I'm going to release the big box. Comment/write if you would like the files.
