Deprecated: 11/01/2019 - Did not like how it worked. Hinge broke after a few weeks.
Magnets wouldn't stay in their slots. New version linked here

Version without hook
Version with hook
Synopsis
The original concept was a secret storage container (not so secret anymore) that hooks onto the rail underneath the driver's seat in a 2017 Nissan Frontier (with manual seat adjustment). This version uses 4 12mmx3mm disc magnets to snap the lid closed in a switchblade-ish motion.
It works well, but I didn't actually print the magnet covers. I instead used super glue to hold the magnets in place. This seems to work well, but I included the magnet cover in case anyone wants to try it.
I have not tested the version without the hook, but it seemed like most people wouldn't want the hook. I essentially copied the F360 file and manually removed the hook.
