Swedish Snusdosa with Magnetic Lid | Snus Can

A snusdosa with a magnetic lid designed with durability and simplicity in mind. I aimed to keep it sleek, easy to print, and practical. The magnets provide a satisfying snap when the lid locks into place.

What You’ll Need

• Eight 3x2 mm magnets

Design Details

The holes for the magnets are 3.2 mm in diameter and 2.2 mm deep. These dimensions have worked reliably for me when printing with PETG. However, because 3D printing setups, materials, and settings can vary, slight adjustments may be necessary. For example, if the magnets feel loose, you can either use a small amount of glue or carefully widen the holes with a 3 mm drill bit, ensuring no debris remains.

It’s worth noting that the actual size of the magnets may sometimes differ slightly from their specifications, which is why I chose these dimensions to accommodate common variations.

Printing Tips

I designed the snusdosa with a line width of 0.45 mm in mind for optimal results.

Currently, Prusa Slicer places the seams near one of the magnet holes. If this happens to be an issue, you can adjust it by manually painting a seam.
