Nespresso Capsule Holder with Magnets

Motivation for the design

I love Nespresso coffee and we always have different varieties at home. That's why I was looking for a capsule holder that is variable and can adapt dynamically, depending on the number of coffee types. There are a lot of capsule holders out there, but I have not found that one which appealed to me. Inspired by all the different models (thanks to all the designers), I designed my own.

In addition to Nespresso, I also love magnets. And I find it extremely satisfying when two magnets attract each other and then come to rest in an orderly fashion. So I built several (6) magnets into my design, so that the capsule holders can be aligned differently.
 

There are 3 different arrangement options:

1. Side-by-Side

2. Back-to-Back

3. Side-by-Side-inverted

Print the holder

The holder is very easy to print an do not need any supports. I mainly used PLA, other filaments work as well.

The profile has just one holder. If you need more, just clone them in Bambu Studio, in the number that suits you.

Bring the magnets into the print

I used magnets in the dimension 6mm x 3mm (DxH), see also BOM below. With my printer (P1S), the magnets fit perfekt in the hole, no glue is needed. Just press the magnets into the hole with a little force.

Magnets have a “North Pole” and a “South Pole” or a “Plus-End” and a “Minus-End”. Just be sure, that you insert the magnets in the orientation shown in the next two picture:

Just double-check the right orientation of the magnets. Once pressed in, I could no longer remove the magnet without destroying the holder 😏

Second print-profile

If you want to use the capsule holder only in the side-by-side way (as I do), use the second print-profile, without the holes in the back.
