Description
The box and lid both include dedicated magnet holes, allowing magnets to be embedded during printing using a planned pause in your software.
Once printing resumes, the magnets are fully enclosed inside the model, making them invisible, secure, and perfectly aligned.
The lid features an inner lip that fits neatly into the box for accurate alignment, while the magnets ensure the lid stays firmly closed without clips or hinges.
Perfect for storing:
• Screws, bolts, and small hardware
• Electronics parts
• Smaller 3D printing accessories
• Desk or workshop items
