Model Figure Base inserts for mounting Magnets

thingiverse

I designed these for my <a href=""https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3864531" >storage boxes</a>where I insert a magnetic sheet to hold my figures in place for transport. Originally the intent was just to glue small magnets to the base, but the tricky little blighters love to attach to each other. So after some trial and error I designed these inserts to hold varying number of <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079NKN7HF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"><1/8" x 1/16" magnets</a>. The holes are designed for the 1/8" diameter but due to the printer the holes are slightly undersized, so I take the drill bit that comes with the magnets and simply opened the holes. For some this makes a snug fit for others the fit is a little loose, but once you superglue the insert into the model base its pretty good. For the 25mm models I find only two magnets give a good hold, for the other it varies with the model. So some experimentation is required. Let me know if you have any improvements or suggestions.
