Magnetic Hexagonal Parts Bins

Hexagonal parts bins that are magnetized both on the sides and bottom so that they'll snap together. A variety of options for the bins to accommodate a variety of parts.

Print Settings

• 15% infill
• 3 parimeters
• .2mm layer height

BOM

• 6x3mm round neodymium magnets (12 per bin, or you can use less and fill the holes with included plugs)
• 12x6x3mm rectangular neodymium magnets. (you can use smaller/thinner magnets if you want less attraction.)

Filament

You can use any filament you want, but I've used a mix of Prusament and Fillamentum ASAs because of its high glass transition temperature in case I want to put a cooling soldering iron tip in one.

Assembly

For the side magnets, put a small drop of superglue in the hole and insert the magnets, being sure to be mindful of the orientation, as seen below:

For the magnets on the bottom, use a small amount of super glue and press them into place. It's a snug fit, so a pair of parallel pliers can be helpful.
