Description
Please keep all these small parts away from children and pets, some parts have pointy ends, and they could be a choking hazard too. Make or use these models at your own risk.
This bin is designed to work with the Gridfinity Box For Stuff V2.0, and is 6U high with a 1x2U footprint, but it will also work with other cases which have a 6U bin height. I found that after loading up my case with small screws, it was a bit of a pain to get them out. I previously designed a magnet pickup tool which uses a 5x15 magnet, so just did something similar (with a bigger 6x25 magnet) for this model. The reason for the larger magnet is due to the less powerful magnetic attraction of Stainless steel, so I though a bigger magnet would help (and it does).
This print is straight forward, and the only thing I can recommend is a brim for the tool handle. I tried out a very light fuzzy skin on my print, which looked OK, but that is just a suggestion.
Assembly info:
I thought I would need to superglue the magnet into the handle, but as it turned out it's a snug fit without glue. I just pressed the magnet in, but it does take some work - though no tools should be required. If using this with a case though, be sure to press the magnet in far enough that the lid will close (it has to go all the way). If you find that the magnet won't press into the handle, there is another model with a looser bore (6.4mm) which you can use (2x1X6U_Magnet Pickup Bin_V4T_TOOL_HANDLE_LOOSE.STL), but that will require glue.
Be careful when installing the magnet in the tool handle, since if too much force is used the magnet could break or fracture (to be save safety glasses and gloves are a good idea).
Other stuff:
If you need some bins for small parts, the following bins with covers are a good option to use with the Box For Stuff 20 bin and 25 bin cases (or other 6U tall cases):

Thanks and Acknowledgements:
The models here could not have been made without the work of Zach Freedman, who introduced the world to Gridfinity, and then set it free for everyone to use. These models are not based on direct remixing of Zach' original models, but they are fully compatible, and use the same, or a similar specification for the bin bases, bin lips and base grids, which Zach Freedman developed. Zach Freedman's work is available on Thangs, and you can find examples of his Gridfinity designs here and here, which are available under his MIT license. If you like this model, or want to learn more about Gridfinity, you can check out Zach Freedman's YouTube, or you can support Zach Freedman's work on Patreon (patreon.com/zackfreedman).
And Finally,
If you find these models useful, please post a like or a comment with some pics of your prints.

Thanks for looking!
Changelog:
Update 3/8/2024 - This has been updated, and the bin was modeled from scratch using the Gridfinity spec, so it is no longer a remix. The magnet handle was also shortened, to reduce the possibility of interference with stacked bins. The current version is 4U.
