Description
Every time I need to work on my machines, screws end up wandering around the workbench and I have to hunt for them. I made this simple magnetic screw bowl to keep everything organized.
The embedded 36mm x 5mm neodymium magnet holds screws and small parts securely, and also lets the bowl stick directly to a metal workbench. Great for bench work, printer maintenance, and electronics repair.
There is a pause on layer 33 (about 12 minutes into the print) to allow you drop in the magnet. No glue required.
At roughly 17 minutes to print, and under 20 cents (USD) in filament, it’s cheap and small enough to make several so you can sort screws into multiple bowls by size as you work.
Printed flat in PLA with no supports.
