A simplistic design that works against the metal wall of your toolbox or face down in your toolbox.

Works best with Snap-on ratchets but will fit other brands with similar body styles.

Magnets used were 6mm x 12mm x 3mm N52 neodymium magnets.

Amazon link to the magnets used:

MIN CI Super Strong Rare Earth Magnets, Small Rectangular Neodymium Magnets Bar, Heavy Duty Magnets, for Fridge Industrial Decoration Whiteboard Tool Storage Kitchen,12 x 6 x 3mm 60P: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

This prints best with the magnet cutout in the vertical orientation. No supports are required this way.

.20 layer height

100% infill as it will be getting bashed by tools, but 100% is not required.

Has a .3 mm tolerance for the magnet opening.

There is 6 sizes available to fit the 3 most common sizes of ratchets, ¼", 3/8", and ½"

The -2 version has a 1mm wider opening for the ratchet to rest in, this is the version i recommend.

Superglue or epoxy works well for securing the magnets.

magnet opening dimensions:

¼: 25.3mm long x 12.3mm wide x 3.3mm deep

3/8: 30.3mm long x 12.3mm wide x 3.3mm deep

½: 42.3mm long x 12.3mm wide x 3.3mm deep

I have updated the model with interlocking versions, that are ½" spaced apart.

there is 3 different sizes for the key, test which one your printer tolerances work best with.

Also have added a solid block version
