HexMag: Modular Hexagonal Magnetic Storage

I started by trying to design a magnetic knife rack, but I realized how simple and multifunctional this could be for any sort or organization: garage, tools, hobby room, ect. Print as many as you want, arrange them to accomplish different levels of magnetism and/or design. Part of my plan to take over the world with hexagons. No pause printing, glue or difficult assembly required.

Parts:

The cavity for magnets accommodates 10mmx20mmx6mm, 2 cavities per unit. You can accomplish this with either 2ea 10x20x3, or 3ea 10x20x2, so a total of 4-6 magnets per unit. Either arrangement will be quite strong. You'll need just 1 screw per unit, I used standard drywall screws from my local hardware store, but a variety of screws should fit. If 4-6 magnets per unit is too strong, I've also included print files for 3mm and 2mm blanks that you can use as a dummy magnet in the cavity. 

Assembly:

Place the main body upside down, then fit the magnets into both cavities. Cover with the rear cap. Mark the wall you want to secure the magnet to, then I suggest inserting your mounting screw into the body first, then screwing into the wall. That way you don't have to struggle with the magnets trying to draw the screw away from the hole while you're mounting. You can print and insert the screw cover (with a bit of glue if necessary) if you want to hide your screw holes.

Since the bar magnets are on opposite sides of the screw hole, you can play around with the rotation of several units to achieve various magnetism. For example, you can arrange several hexagons with adjacent vertices and parallel magnets to space out the usable surface. Or, adjacent sides and parallel bars for more of a cohesive, knife-magnet situation. 

Filling the available cavity with magnets should make it quite strong; one unit easily holds my heaviest knife.

Happy magnetizing!
