Fusion 360 Project: 3d printed Hex Organizers

This ones not exactly furniture, but its organization. I designed this interlocking hexes to fit my collection of mica powders and alcohol inks for resin art. I then 3d printed them in ABS plastic and put a piece of sheet metal under of my shelf to attach them to.

Above are the 3d models in Fusion 360. there are two different sizes for the hexes themselves and one size of magnet cap that fits on both of them. These are easy to modify with different sized interiors and all have the same size of interlocks. I have plans to make two other types of caps, one to stick into a peg board and another that can be screwed or nailed to a wall.

The first prototype that I could get together, these are still a little tight but they are functional and I was able to adjust the model a little to make the rest

These are all the alcohol ink hexes printed. I added dots to the top of the bottles so I can easily identify the colors

I printed the larger mica powder hexes with a different brand of ABS and they are much looser. they stay together when hanging but I can't easily move them since they are so tight. This was a lessen that different brands of plastic can hold a different tolerance
