Holder for super strong disc magnets

thingiverse

I use 32mm neodymium disc magnets, sourced from Amazon at http://a.co/d/3Qbnjnb, to keep things flat in my laser printer's bed. These magnets work wonderfully, but their incredible strength makes it tricky to find a safe way to store them. When they stick together, separating them is extremely challenging. To solve this problem, I created a two-piece container that keeps the magnets at a safe distance apart, making removal easy and preventing pinched fingers. This design holds six magnets, and although it might seem large for so few, the magnets need to be spaced far apart to ensure they can be easily removed from the container. When inserting or removing magnets, open the holder just enough to expose one magnet/slot. This prevents another magnet from jumping out and sticking to the one you're trying to insert, potentially causing a pinched finger. If a magnet is hard to insert, try flipping it over. The other magnets in the container will either repel or attract the magnet you're inserting, depending on its pole orientation. To prevent accidental opening of the holder, place one magnet outside the closed end. This will provide enough force to keep the holder secure, assuming there are magnets inside the container.
