Model Figure Base inserts for mounting Magnets
thingiverse
I designed these inserts specifically for my storage boxes where I insert a magnetic sheet to securely hold my figures in place during transport. Initially, I had planned to simply glue small magnets to the base of each box, but those pesky little figures love to cling together, making it difficult to separate them. After conducting some trial and error tests, I designed these inserts to accommodate varying numbers of 1/8" x 1/16" magnets. The holes are crafted for the 1/8" diameter, but due to printer limitations, they come out slightly undersized. To compensate, I use the drill bit that comes with the magnets to enlarge the holes, resulting in a snug fit for some and a slightly loose fit for others. Once the insert is superglued into place, it provides an excellent hold. However, experimentation reveals that only two magnets are sufficient to secure 25mm models, while other models require more magnetic support.
