Description
Have you ever been in the need to take something long, thin and fragile with you on the go? We have - so we designed the Magnetic interlocking storage tube
You can place objects measuring up to ~ 4.5" (12cm) in height and a diameter of ~ .8" (2cm) in the inner chamber. Once closed, the top slide is firmly held in place through a simple magnetic mechanism.
What you need
- 3D-Printer
- 2 magnets (6mm diameter x 3mm)
- Superglue
Printing Details
Post-Printing – Assembly
- First, glue one of the magnets into the designated hole of the outer Slide. The polarity doesn't matter at this point as the second magnet can be oriented accordingly. Some filing may be necessary to fit it in perfectly.
- Next file the small hole in the Chamber so that the second magnet fits in perfectly. But don't glue it in just yet.
- Clip the Slide onto the Chamber. This can be a bit tricky but it helps to slide in the arm of the Slidefirst. Regard that it moves without too much friction once the two parts are assembled. Also check that the arm of the Slide completely touches the wall of the Chamber in both resting positions.
- Glue the second magnet into the hole of the Chamber. Make sure the magnets are aligned to attract eachother. Also don't glue the two magnets together. Superglue can be a bit messy at times.
