I love magnets and I wanted a bin that can easy detach (to keep close for pistachio shells or sunflower seeds) and install without a lot of fiddling. Bin designSize: 100mm diameter × 100mm tallMount: low-profile, with 6 variations for desk thicknesses (18, 21, 24, 26, 28 and 30mm clearance - let me know if I should add more)MountingAdd nano tape or double-sided tape at each mount edge for secure clamping (check photos for reference)MagnetsSize: 6×2mm or 6×3mm (I used 6×3mm)Each part has 8 holes (16 total magnets)Optional: You might get away with only 8 magnets (4 on each part). Place them adjacently.With all 16×6×3mm magnets, bin requires noticeable force to detachPlace a drop of super glue in holes where magnets don’t stay seatedPrintingPrint the bin and one of the mounts that's suitable to your desk thickness. I'm happy to listen to suggestions that can improve on the design.
