This is a storage box for standard Gutermann thread reels and matching bobbins, to help keep matching threads and bobbins safe & secure.

It will hold ten reels of standard gutermann thread, and has space to hold a sewing machine bobbin of the same colour next to it.

There is a narrow slit along the length of the box to show the colours of thread inside (if like me you have loads of threads), but not too large to allow too much dust in.

It has a magnetic lid closure, with one magnet in each corner, for which I used four 3mm x 2mm neodymium magnets. 

(The magnets are a bit fiddly as they are so small, so be careful to put them in the right way round before gluing in place - I got one the wrong way round, and it ended up repelling the lid instead of attracting it!)

 

nb. - I did this at 50% speed, as I found that at full speed my machine didn't print it smoothly. We use a CoreOne printer

 

I did this as a competition with my partner to see who could design the best thread and bobbin box, and who would get the most likes/downloads. You can find his design @ https://www.printables.com/@Zelphium_3367071 

This is my very first design, so constructive advice welcome :)
