- Open the file in Fusion 360.
- Go the “Change Parameters” dialog.
- Alter the starred parameters.
- Export as .3mf or .stl. You may export the lid & body separately or together.
The model is fairly tolerant of quality settings. When it is done, place the lid on top of the bottom, lining up the bottom trunnions with the small grooves in the lid dimples. Then press down. The lid will click into place.
You can then insert the magnets into place. I use a small bead of urethane glue (eg “Gorilla Glue”) on the edge of the magnet that is going into slot. If you specify a tight enough fit, you may not need that. I do not recommend CA (super glue).
Here are some things that will get you into trouble:
- lid height less than 5mm
- bottom height less than 5mm
- magnet heights that exceed the lid or bottom height
- width less than 50mm
- excessive fillet radius
Some other things you can try:
If you don't want the magnet catches, you can suppress the magnet group on the history timeline.
If you want more magnet catches, it's pretty easy to use the rectangular pattern feature to repeat the magnet catch features.
Of course, you can add dividers, labels, or whatever else you want.
