Magnetic Closure Filament Sample Spool
Description
Edit 3/27/2020: I realized that I accidentally uploaded the top stl twice instead of a top and bottom so please re-download the files. --------------------------------------------- I did a remix because while I loved smbaker's idea of using magnets to hold the halves together, I didn’t like the solid sides as I felt it was a lot of wasted filament and extensive print time. I also really wanted an easy way to put a zip tie back on the sample. So I dropped it into Tinkercad, used a couple cylinders to punch out channels for zip ties and a combination of a tube and rectangles to punch out the sides to save filament and printing time and voila! Notes: 1. I suggest only using 2 10mm x 3mm magnets for each side. As you can see in the pictures, I only use 2 of the magnet holes and it holds really well. I actually have twist the sides to get them apart. I think 4 would be hard to separate. 2. As smbaker says in his design, be very careful with the magnets around children!! 3. Make sure to orient the magnets polarity and triple check before pressing the second magnet in!
