This bin is used to neatly store magnets. It consists of a north and a south pole, which align the magnets between them.

It is a gridfinity bin measuring 1x2x5 and is stackable.

Instructions

A labelled and an unlabelled version of the bin is available.

1. Print out the desired variant.
2. For the labelled version:
   1. Determine the polarity of the magnets
   2. Insert the magnets as follows:
      • On the side labelled with north pole, the south pole of the magnet to be inserted must be aligned in the direction of the labelling.
      • On the side labelled with the south pole, the north pole of the magnet to be inserted must be aligned in the direction of the label.
3. For the unlabeled version: Insert the magnets in the same direction of the polarity.
4. Test which two of the four lids fit more tightly into the magnetic slots.
5. Glue the lids onto the magnets.

Usage

• When you insert the magnets into the bin, aim for the centre of the bin. This way, the magnets will find their orientation on the way there.
• When the stack is full from pole to pole, attach the next magnets in the centre of this existing stack.
• Please note that if magnets are used on the gridfinity base plate or neighbouring bins, the magnets may interfere undesirably.
