Magnetic Parts Bins
Description
## Note My "Updated" Models With Spherical Magnets Are Garbage. I Learned That In Order For Ball Magnets To Work, They Need To Be Able To Spin Freely In Their Socket. So I Need To Totally Rethink How To Allow For That. **This Means You Should Avoid The Bins With Holes On The Tops.** ## Motivation I Designed This Specifically To Hold Tokens While Playing Boardgames, However, It Could Be Used To Hold Any Small Project Parts. ## Dimensions * Bins Are 75Mm X 75Mm X 25Mm * Long Bins Are 150Mm X 75Mm X 25Mm ## Magnet Selection * Regular Bins Are Designed To Receive 1/8" X 1/8" Cylindrical Magnets. I Used Power N35 - N42 (I Forget Which) And Found Them To Be Plenty Strong Enough To 'Click' The Boxes Together. * Stackable Bins Are Designed To Receive 3Mm Sphere Magnets. I Ordered N42 Strength. The Two Types Of Bins _Should_ Be Compatible For Side-To-Side Clicking; Just Not Stackable With Each Other. ## Change History 2018-05-27 -- Thing Initially Published 2018-05-31 -- Added Small Stackable Lid, Stackable Long Bin ## Future Shapes I Have Plans To Add More Shapes In The Future When I Get Time. Note: All Future Bins Will Be In The Stackable Style, Assuming My Stackable Prototypes Turn Out Okay. Some Ideas: - [ ] Long Stackable Bin With Lid - [ ] Hexagon Stackable Bin With Lid - [X] Lid For Small Bin - [ ] Lids Designed To Take Washers Instead Of Magnets (To Save A Few Pennies? Maybe Not Worth It) - [ ] A Version With Slot For Disk Magnet In The Bottom So Metal Parts Will Stick.
