Magnetic Disposable Glove Box Holder (Over Engineered)

Designed specifically with high efficiency, strength, and mobility in mind, this magnetic holder allows you to store standard disposable glove boxes on any steel surface—toolbox, vehicle panel, or shop rack—without taking up excessive print volume.

Key Features

• Compact Print Volume: Standard glove boxes are taller than a typical 220 x 220 mm print bed. This open-top frame is sized to print vertically on standard beds while accommodating full-sized glove boxes.

• Elastic Retention Hooks: Features 4 integrated top hooks. Simply slide your glove box into place and stretch two heavy-duty hair ties or thick rubber bands over the top to secure it.

  Pro-Tip: Standard hair ties handle heat significantly better than thin rubber bands, making them ideal for high-temperature service vehicles.

• 3mm Offset Magnet Mounts: Houses 6 press-fit / glued 12x2mm neodymium magnets. The mounting bosses protrude 3 mm from the back wall to provide clear separation for thick retention bands/ties so they won't interfere with flush magnetic contact.

• Hexagonal Weight Reduction: Lightweight hex pattern minimizes total filament consumption and print time while maintaining structural rigidity.

• Support-Optimized Geometry: Designed to require minimal supports. The hooks intentionally overhang directly over the main frame, keeping support structures short and self-contained rather than building all the way up from the print bed.

Recommended Print Settings

• Material: PETG (Recommended for thermal resistance, especially in vehicles or hot shop environments).

• Orientation: Print standing upright on its base.

• Supports:

  • Style: Snug

  • Scope: On overhangs only (primarily under the retention hook tips).

• Infill: 15%–20% (Gyroid or Grid recommended).

• Hardware Needed:

  • (6) 12 mm 2 mm Neodymium Magnets + Super Glue.

  • (2) Hair ties or thick rubber bands.
