The default solution works pretty well, but occasionally I had prime pellets bounce out of the bin due to the distance of the fall. As someone who is an obsessive neat freak this was not acceptable. I then proceeded to modify the original design in FreeCAD for way longer than it takes to pick up the pellets. Efficiency at its finest.
The attachment magnets to the hole and allows the pellets to drop directly into the bin. Easy to print and remove.
It is designed for 10mm x 3mm magnets that can be easily sourced. If you have other size magnets it should be fairly easy to modify via the slicer to adjust the hole size. I did use a bit of glue to hold them into place.
Printed in PETG, but any material with a heat tolerance of PETG or greater should work. You could probably get away with PLA as well if you really needed to.
