Magnetic Bit Holder - Parametrized

thingiverse

Introducing the Magnetic Bit Holder in Two Parts Design! Say goodbye to misplaced bits with its sandwiched structure featuring strong 8mm magnets. You can choose to fix the magnets in place or skip it without affecting their strength. The provided .stl files support two rows of five magnets arranged as pairs for increased power (totaling 20 magnets). Customize the parameters using OpenSCAD. Purchase 8mm magnets from dealextreme.com at $5.96 for a 100 pack or $2.36 for a 20 pack. I'm currently working on an experimental version that clips together without glue or screws. Stay tuned! This is my first OpenSCAD project - how did I do? These instructions are drafted without a printer, so follow these steps: Combine the magnets in pairs with the same polarity and place them as shown; put the bottom part on a metal surface and insert the magnets, using tape if needed. Attach the top part and decide whether to glue or screw it. Alternatively, superglue a magnet directly into the hole in the top part. Be cautious of the strong magnets' hold!
