I needed a simple model to hold the double doors of my Lack Enclosure closed. I had some 12 x 1.7 mm magnets, and ½" #* Particleboard screws. Made a simple wedge shape holds a pair of magnets, and a separate tab holds another magnet and attaches to the door. The mounting holes are made for a flat head #8 screw. Print the wedge on the 45° face, and the overhang issues should be minimal.
The tab for the door is designed to have a 1 mm thickness under the magnet, so you can place it with the magnet facing the door and its still strong enough to catch. The acrylic panels I used were thin enough I put them on the outside.
I included the Fusion360 file so you can remix/adjust to your size/needs. Most dimensions are parameterized, or calculated based on a parameter/multiple parameters. See Images for list of parameters.
