First thanks to @LoboCNC for such a great design, and including the STEP file for an easy remix! The magnetic driver I'm using has a 0.39" diameter shaft, but another remix just has 4 steps in Fusion 360 (just adjust dimensions to fit your driver):

  1. Slice the body just behind the back of the screw grippers and delete the back parts
  2. Extrude the back 4 faces 0.5"
  3. Extrude the top and bottom faces by 0.02"
  4. Place a hole on the back face to “drill” out up to hex hole.

In my case, I actually made the hole 0.58" deep, as my bit's hex shaft doesn't extend very much.

I printed with a 0.6mm nozzle with 0.2mm layers in PLA. I did use supports everywhere, though I probably only needed supports from the build plate only.

Model origin

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This remix allows the screw holder to be put on a magnetic hex driver extension, rather than just a hex drive bit. In this way you get the benefit of the magnet pulling on the screw head, along with the holder keeping the screw centered.
