Description
PDFUpdates since initial upload:
| Date | Description |
| 10/3/2022 | Thickened drawer shell by 0.2mm to try and strengthen the device Added some tolerance to the drawer's magnets covers Added drawer & box designs for placing magnets mid-print |
| 5/31/2022 | Thickened box magnet covers by 0.2mm for nicer, flusher finish. Thickened drawer shell for a more rigid/solid and easier to print part. |
| 5/29/2022 | Slimmed down drawer magnet covers by 0.2mm for an easier fit |
This box has a drawer that closes magnetically using four 8x3mm cylindrical magnets.
I designed and use this box for dog treats, as it is slim and fits easily in a pocket.
The files are for a 100mm x 70mm x 25mm box. However, I've designed it so you can easily adjust parameters like height, width, and thickness of the box, as well as the magnets dimensions (using the Fusion 360 file attached).
I've printed with support everywhere for the drawer, and on build plate only for the box. For best results, print with 0.1mm layers.
I kept the magnets & box magnet covers in place with some glue (double check the orientation of the magnets beforehand).
I've also now added a version of the design for putting the magnets in mid-print (no need for covers, glue, and no parting lines).
