Modular Magnetic Bin with Swing Lid
Keep your workspace clean and tidy with this Swing Lid Bin, a specialized addition to my modular magnetic storage system. Designed like a miniature trash can, it features a balanced swing lid that self-centers after use, making it perfect for discarding small scraps like wire clippings, support material, or 3D printer purge lines without having to open a lid every time.
Of course, it still connects magnetically on all four sides to any other box in the collection!

Key Features:
- Swing Lid Mechanism: The print-in-place style lid rotates freely and uses gravity to stay closed, keeping mess out of sight.

- Fully Modular: Connects magnetically on all 4 sides to other containers in the series.
- Stackable: Can still be stacked with other units in the system.
- Easy Access: Push to open, release to close—operated easily with one hand.
Hardware Required:
- 8x Rectangular Neodymium Magnets (10x5x2 mm) per box.
- Assembly Tip: Pay close attention to polarity when installing magnets to ensure all your boxes snap together correctly!
- Optional: Super glue (CA glue) may be needed depending on your printer's tolerances.
