[Deprecated] Magnetic Storage Container

thingiverse

**Deprecated:** 11/01/2019 - Didn't work out as planned. Hinge broke after a few weeks. Magnets wouldn't stay in their slots. [New version available here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3950334) [Watch the container in action](https://www.instagram.com/p/B3U_UZIp8-P/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) **Fusion360 Files** Version without hook: [https://a360.co/2OCUBQD](https://a360.co/2OCUBQD) Version with hook: [https://a360.co/2ooQjRT](https://a360.co/2ooQjRT) **Synopsis** The original idea was a secret storage container that hooks onto the rail underneath the driver's seat in a 2017 Nissan Frontier (with manual seat adjustment). This version uses four 12mmx3mm disc magnets to snap the lid closed with a switchblade-like motion. It works well, but I didn't actually print the magnet covers. Instead, I used super glue to hold the magnets in place. This seems to work well, but I included the magnet cover for anyone who wants to try it. I haven't tested the version without the hook, but most people might not want the hook. I essentially copied the F360 file and manually removed the hook.
