Description
I needed a container to hold my screwdriver set in my bag. The interchangeable heads kept getting lost. I lengthened the container to hold my personal set. You can remix this to any length you need. Make sure you only lengthen the bottom. The screws need to stay the same.
I changed the lid to make it a little bit more water tight and added two holes for magnets. This way I can pull out all of the head at once, or store screws when taking something apart.
I would recommend remixing the cap and adding notches to give you more surface area to open it up. The current cap is a bit too smooth and hard to open in the beginning.

Used a brim to make sure the capsule had enough adhesion.
The magnets are roughly 6mm wide and 3mm thick.
Screwing Cap on for First Time
When you try to screw this on for the first time, take it slow and try not to crank it all the way on. It will seize up and you will have a difficult time opening it again. It happened to me and I had to use a belt wrench to open it back up. I have been slowly closing it more and more. It now opens and closes great. It you use a brim you will need to cut around the edge to smooth it up.
Tinekrcad
I altered this using Tinkercad. Removed the bottom of the capsule and created a new one that was longer. I then merged all of the designs to create a longer tube.
For the cap I filled in the opening and added two slots for magnets I had on hand.
