Mini hex-bit holder with print-in-place magnet
Description
Yes, another mini hex-drive bit holder. I couldn't find one with a print-in-place magnet so I made one. This is designed around the 8mm x 3mm magnets (that are also used in many of the extruder gear indicators). There is a 3mm deep pocket for the magnet then hex-shape starts printing. There is just enough overlap to hold the magnet in place. Depending on your slicer - you can pause the print or insert a color change right before the hex pattern starts. You should check your printer to ensure you can print with magnets in-place. Make-sure you don't have anything steel on the hot-end, for instance. Print at your own risk! Or just drop-in a smaller magnet with a drop of superglue after the printing has completed. I printed this on a Prusa MK3S using the pause option and magnetic sheet made this really straight-forward and actually kept the magnet in-place perfectly. I printed in PETG with 4 perimeters and about 30% infill. They print very quickly.
