My wife wanted an ORT (Old Ratty Thread) basket for her sewing table. This is an initial design to meet that need. It is comprised of two main pieces: a bracket that clamps onto the sewing table and the ORT basket itself.
The bracket is sized for a 40mm thick table and is held in-place with two thumb screws. The top surface of the bracket is angled so scraps can be easily swept from the table surface into the basket. The basket is a half-cylinder that is magnetically held to the bracket. Both pieces have internal voids for 8mm OD x 2mm thick magnets.
Potential future revisions - initially the magnets were set back from the surfaces by 1mm. After printing the bracket, it seemed like the attraction was a bit muted. I adjusted the set-back on the basket to 0.4mm. I might make the same adjustment to the bracket side and/or use thicker magnets.
