A modular magnet organizer. So you can store your magnets without chaos and only have to print the ones you need!

Many of the models already available online, are made for magnets in sizes that you may not have, or you would like to add other sizes later.
So I created this modular model, with individual modules for different magnet sizes.
This way, you only have to print the ones you need. The modules can be joined together and the two ends provide a nice finish.

 

The first printing plate contains all the modules. Simply remove the modules you don't need, before printing.
The second plate is for the two end plates. This means you can easy print them in a different color or material (without waste).
Of course, there is also the option of printing the individual modules in different colors. STL files are also available for individual print.

 

Modules for magnet with size:

20mm, 18mm, 17mm, 16mm, 15mm, 14mm, 12mm, 10mm, 9mm, 8mm, 7mm, 6mm, 5mm, 4mm and 3mm


For some sizes there are modules with single or two slots. Also a version of a module, combined for the 6 and 8mm magnets.

The modules are 50mm in height. If ouy need to store more or less amount of magnets, I think you should be able to scale in Z axis.

 

The modules fit tightly into each other. This ensures that everything holds together well.
I recommend using a small hammer for the assembly. Carefully tap the modules together with the hammer. The modules can also be separated again, using the same method. For example if you want to insert another size between them later.

 

I printed the modules in PETG and the ends with PLA. However, any other strong filament should be possible.
For a little more stability, I used 20% infill for the modules. Iron the top surface, for a beautiful finish.

 

The magnets fit relatively thight in the slots, which ensures that they don't fall out so easily.
With the labeling, there is also a little more space between the magnets, so the do not interfere each other so strong.

 

This is my first upload. Please let me know if you have inputs, problems or request for adjustments. I will gladly try to help.

 

Notes
There are also STL files for a loose-fit version. (the male side of the connection is slightly smaller)
If you are not sure, whitch version gives the best result for you and your printer, probably try first and print one single piece from each version. So that you can test the joining of the parts.

The idea is to have a tight fit, so the parts cannot fall apart. The thight fit is by purpose and you maybe have to use a hammer to put them together.

If you would like to have more space for the magnets, you should be able to scale it up, so it fits better.


I have uploaded some experimental STL files. They are not testet! Use at your own risk!
Please no rating, if you have any problem with this files.

There is a "deeper" version for the 3mm module.
Because some people have mentioned that the magnets do not hold.
 

And 1mm, 2mm, 25mm and 30mm modules.
There were requests for these sizes. Depending on the tolerance, it could be difficult for the smaller sizes to work. The large ones stick out on both sides. If that doesn't bother you, you can use it. Maybe use more infill, for better stability.

manca la compensazione adeguata tra i pezzi. impossibile incastrarli tra loro. stampato in pla

Mi spiace sentire questo. Le parti sembrano effettivamente buone, da quello che posso vedere dalla foto. Il piano prevede che i pezzi si incastrino pesantemente tra loro in modo che si tengano bene. Hai provato a battere con attenzione le parti con un piccolo martello come descritto? (tradotto con deepl)

Replying to @chroemli :
probably in the project it was calculated on petg and it works better. but I reckon most people print in pla. an xy hole compensation of at least 0.15 would be needed to still be able to keep it very tight. but here, in my case, it gets stuck and unfortunately no longer advances. solve it and I will be happy to change my rating

Super easy print with Bambu's PETG, and a great design. Most pieces slid in on their own, though a couple did need a tap with a mallet. I was worried the magnets would fall out without a lid, but between the snug fit and the other magnets acting on them, they stay put. And bonus! The magnets make it functionally magnetic, so you can store it vertically on metallic surfaces!

Thank you for sharing and the details. Nice print. Thought about a lid, but it is difficult because of the modularity. But should be sufficient like it is. And yes, it holds really well on metallic surfaces ;) Thanks for rating.

Very nice and handy item to have! Got all my magnets organized. I really appreciate the ability to print additional blocks of certain sizes and leave out other sizes. The pieces fit together tightly but not too tight, tolerances were perfect with PETG.

Great design! Printed perfect first try. The modules are nice and tight but able to fit together without tools. Magnets slide in easily and can get them out just fine.

loose fit - 0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 20% infill
This file is much better than the original but still a tight fit and needed a hammer to put together. also had issues with 3mm magnets staying in the slot. Also the 4mm magnets set a little high, but that could be just because I have 2mm tall magnets.

Thanks for sharing and feedback. It probably depends on many factors (printer, filament, calibration, envoirement..), over which I have no influence. However, these then lead to fluctuations in the tolerances. And for example at 3 mm, there is not much room for errors. For comparison, if I print the "loose-fit" version with my P1S (with Bambu PLA), the parts slip apart by themselves. Unfortunately, at the moment, I can't see a easy way of changing this. But you should be able to change the height by scaling, if you need space for more magnets. Or you use them in some project. ;)

Great setup. Thank you for making it modular! Everything fit together snuggly.

I love this model. I've already had to split it apart twice to add new magnet sizes. It works perfectly and prints great/fast.
