<h2>Embedded Magnet Dispenser Tool for Multiple Diameters and Thicknesses</h2><h3>PROFILE NOTE</h3>Please use the “Designer” profile as it guarantees the latest files and version with all new magnet sizes and features. The Designer Profile will be listed at the top.<h3>Latest Update (2024-04-21): Quick summary</h3><ol><li>additional magnet sizes</li><li>magnet size text embossed on the barrel and also included on the slider</li></ol>See below for the more detailed update notes.<h2>Magnet Dispenser for 3D Prints: Simplify Magnet Insertion with Precision</h2>The Magnet Dispenser Tool is expertly designed to streamline the insertion of magnets into 3D prints. This tool not only speeds the process of inserting magnets into 3D Prints, it also ensures correct orientation and secure fitting, making it ideal for projects that require precise magnet placement.<h3>Key Features</h3><h4>Dual Dispensers for Perfect Alignment</h4><ul><li>Includes two dispensers for each magnet size – one for north-up and one for south-up orientations</li><li>Use different colors (e.g., red for north-up and blue for south-up) to help easily identify the dispenser&#39;s orientation</li><li>Eliminates the hassle of misaligned magnets</li></ul><h4>Design and Utility</h4><ul><li>Developed after extensive refinement</li><li>Allows for friction-fit insertion and is also suitable for magnets that are glued</li><li>Tapered tip facilitates use in tight spaces</li></ul><h4>Ease of Use</h4><ul><li>The dispensers are designed to accommodate the specified magnet sizes for their internal holding magnets, but can dispense magnets of any thicknesses for the specified diameter. For example, for the 6x3mm dispenser, you will need 6x3mm magnets to assemble the dispenser, but once assembled, that dispenser can dispense any 6mm diameter magnet such as 6x1, 6x2, 6x3, 6x5, etc.</li></ul><h4>Convenience and Storage</h4><ul><li>Features a snap-on cap with an embedded magnet and a top slider magnet</li><li>Ensures secure storage and prevents accidental magnet spillage</li></ul><h4>Customization and Printability</h4><ul><li>No supports needed for printing</li><li>STL and STEP files included for personal customization</li><li>Compatible with PETG, PLA, ASA, ABS, etc</li><li>Adjust x/y hole compensation if needed for perfect fit</li></ul><h4>Visual Guide</h4><ul><li>Fusion 360 images provided for easy assembly and understanding of the internal mechanism</li></ul><h4>Use the Magnet Dispenser for a hassle-free, precise, and efficient magnet insertion experience in your 3D printing projects.</h4><h3>Supported Magnet Sizes</h3><h4>Dispensers are now provided for the following magnet sizes as of Version 5</h4><ol><li>2x1mm</li><li>2x2mm</li><li>2x3mm</li><li>3x1mm</li><li>3x2mm</li><li>3x3mm</li><li>4x1mm</li><li>4x2mm</li><li>4x3mm</li><li>5x1mm</li><li>5x2mm</li><li>5x3mm</li><li>6x2mm</li><li>6x3mm</li><li>7x2mm</li><li>7x3mm</li><li>8x2mm</li><li>8x3mm</li><li>8x4mm</li><li>9x2mm</li><li>9x3mm</li><li>10x1mm</li><li>10x2mm</li><li>10x3mm</li><li>12x2mm</li><li>12x3mm</li><li>15x2mm</li><li>15x3mm</li><li>20x2mm</li><li>20x3mm</li></ol>NOTE 1: The 1mm magnet thickesses are just too thin to work reliably with the friction-fit of the slider and caps. Therefore, I have made the pockets of the “1mm” thickness magnet dispensers to be that of the 3mm variety so that they work. So to assemble a 1mm magnet thickness dispenser, you will need to purchase a few 3mm thick magnets to assemble the dispenser. A 2mm thickness will likely work ok, too. Note that the text on the dispenser will still say “D x 1 mm” for the barrel, “Dx1” on the cap, and “D/1” on the slider, so you know what magnets you have loaded into it.&nbsp;NOTE 2: the above are the sizes needed to assemble the dispenser. The dispenser can still dispense any thickness of magnet as long as the diameter is the same. So if don&#39;t see your specific magnet thickness listed above, you can still print the correct diameter, assemble the dispenser with the correct magnet thickness, and dispense other thicknesses.&nbsp;STEP and STL raw files are included if you do not wish to use the provided profile.<h3>Quality Assurance Testing</h3><ul><li>All dispenser sizes have been printed by me and extensively tested</li><li>I have purchased all magnet sizes at significant expense to myself to ensure fit</li><li>Magnet diameters are tricky for press-fit tolerance and controlled by no less that 5 Fusion 360 parameters that must be balanced to achieve good fit<ul><li>Multiple iterations of each dispenser were printed and refined</li><li>Many kilograms of filament and hundreds of hours of print-time were consumed during this process</li><li>All to ensure the best quality printing and fit-up for each dispenser size</li></ul></li></ul><h3>About the Profiles</h3><ol><li>Please use the “Designer” profile as it guarantees the latest files and version with all new magnet sizes and features. The Designer Profile will be listed at the top.</li><li>NOTE: The “Designer” profile is a single profile that contains plates for all magnet sizes so far. Please ignore the “total time” reported by MakerWorld for the profile. You only need to print the plate(s) that you need. Each plate takes about 2.5-2.9 hours on my X1C using the included “PETG” profile which is slowed down for good PETG layer adhesion and quality.</li><li>While the other profiles may be ok, their file / update version may be out of date. So if you want the latest sizes and model improvements, please choose the top “Designer” profile.</li></ol><h3>Accessories</h3>Be sure and check out some nice accessories that other folks have created to work with these dispensers.<ul><li>Tip Caps - these are nice caps for the dispensor tip. Not only do they help keep the magnets contained within, but they also protect the tip. Additionally, they are labeled with the magnet size, which is nice. Thank you @onegotowned ! <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/149038#profileId-162633" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/149038#profileId-162633</a></li><li>Vertical Workbench Stand - This is a very nice stand for select diamagers made by @nickramsey57. A number of folks have asked about stands / organizers for the dispensers, so this model will likely be useful to a number of folks. Thank you @nickramsey57 ! <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/206388#profileId-226561" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/206388#profileId-226561</a></li><li>Vertical Workbench Stand (parametric) - Here is another very nice stand made by @RevHazlett. You can specify the dispenser sizes that you want it to hold and then generate, making it customizable to your needs and the common magnet sizes that you use. Thank you @RevHazlett! <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/435087#profileId-340031" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/435087#profileId-340031</a></li></ul><h2>Update History</h2><h3>Version 5: 2024-04-21</h3><ol><li>Emboss the magnet size text on the Barrel (see photos), allowing one to view the size from the side, and also allowing one to print all of the barrels on a single plate and not get the barrels mixed up as to what size they are for.</li><li>Include the magnet size text on the Slider (see photos), allowing one to print all of the sliders and caps together on one plate and not get the sliders mixed up as to what magnet size they are for. Also provides additional text identification of the magnet size within.</li><li>Include 11 new magnet sizes:<ol><li>3x1mm</li><li>4x1mm</li><li>5x1mm</li><li>7x2mm, 7x3mm</li><li>8x4mm</li><li>10x1mm</li><li>15x2mm, 15x3mm</li><li>20x2mm, 20x3mm</li></ol></li><li>Re-organize the plates so that they are a little easier to manage. All dispenser sizes for each “diameter” are spread across three plates now - the Barrels, the Red Caps and Sliders, and the Blue Caps and Sliders. This allows one to “print-by-layer” instead of “print-by-object”, and the text also comes out better. Additionally, it is now easier to construct a plate with all of the size variations on 3 individual plates and print them all at once.</li></ol><h3>Version 4: 2023-12-26</h3><ol><li>Fixed an issue where the smaller diameter magnets such as the 2mm, 3mm, and possibly the 4mm magnet diameters could inadvertently slip through the vertical barrel slider stem slot. Prior to this update, the slider stem was a fixed 3mm + tolerance width. With Version 4, the slider slot is now dynamic based on the magnet diameter. So now, the smaller diameter magnets are captive within the barrel and cannot slip out inadvertently.</li><li>Tighten up the tolerances between the “slider” and the “barrel” for a better fit and smoother operation.</li><li>Use the Profile: “Version 4: All Sizes …” for the latest from this update.</li></ol><h3>Version 3: 2023-12-22</h3><ol><li>Added additional magnet sizes<ol><li>2x1mm, 2x2mm, 2x3mm</li><li>9x2mm, 9x3mm</li></ol></li><li>Text is now added within the Fusion 360 Model File, eliminating the need to add the text using Bambu Studio<ol><li>Ensures consistent text placement and easier colorizing of the text</li></ol></li><li>All plates are included for all magnet sizes, two dispensers per plate, print sequence: print-by-object</li></ol><h3>Version 2.1: 2023-11-28</h3><ol><li>Added additional magnet sizes<ol><li>3x2mm</li><li>4x2mm, 4x3mm</li><li>5x2mm, 5x3mm</li><li>6x2mm</li><li>8x2mm, 8x3mm</li><li>10x2mm, 10x3mm</li><li>12x2mm</li></ol></li><li>The magnet size text is included on the cap for easy identification - see photo</li></ol><h3>Version 2: 2023-11-20</h3>Updated to “Version 2”. Significant updates an enhancements have been made, some seen, some unseen.<ol><li>Added additional magnet sizes<ol><li>3x3mm</li><li>12x3mm</li></ol></li><li>Each magnet size is on its own plate, two dispensers per plate, print sequence: print-by-object</li><li>Redesigned “thumb slider” for greater comfort and stronger press force</li><li>Slider stem has been reinforced</li><li>Many enhancements for smoother operation with internal chamfers and fillets, enhanced tolerances, and strengthening of key internal components</li></ol>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

PRINT PROFILES: The following are the only print profiles tested and approved by me. They are listed by the name I've given them in the print profile description. I can not guarantee the quality of any print profile posted by anyone other than myself.<ol><li>BLV Remix FR (v2)</li><li>BLV Remix FL (v2)</li><li>BLV Remix RR (v2)</li><li>BLV Remix RL (v2)</li><li>BLV Remix DRAWER</li><li>BLV Remix ACCDRAWER</li><li>BLV Remix Shorty (No Drawers)</li><li>Riser v3</li><li>Gasket</li></ol>&nbsp;SUMMARY: This is a remix of the BLV Riser. The intent was to simplify the assembly, print easier, and with less pieces/material. The original uses close to 2.7kg and this one uses 1.5kg for the primary body, the drawers are between 100-220g, the gasket is 60g of TPU. I will leave the original files in the raw files repository, but will be removing the print profiles that are outdated. The riser maintains the LED light strip sockets, the drawers, the build plate slot, and the high and low shelves for the top glass. I've added a gasket that will work with both the newer and older models. For the older models, you may need to glue it in place because the design intent was to drop it into a small recess, which is only present on v3. &nbsp;&nbsp;Ideally, use PETG or any other filament with a higher temperature resistance. PLA will deform over time. With that said, I use a PLA version on one of my printers which only prints PLA and I have no issues with it so far. I would recommend TPU for the gasket.&nbsp;&nbsp;This riser has a few versions:<ol><li>The first version is the original remix with drawers.</li><li>The second version is the remix without the drawers. Additionally, this version has a sloped inner edge to mount an LED strip at an angle for optimal lighting. I bored out the rear hole slightly so you can terminate the led strip in the rear and run the cable out of the back.</li><li>The third version (v3) is the original remix, but with a slot for a gasket and sloped edges inside for mounting an LED strip at a slight angle.</li></ol>&nbsp;Printing/Assembly:If you decide not to use the print profiles, these are the settings I used.&nbsp;<ul><li>Global Settings:<ul><li>0.2mm Layer Height</li><li>3 Wall Loops</li><li>Enable Supports: Normal (Auto)<ul><li>Snug</li><li>On Build Plate Only</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul>&nbsp;Assembly:The assembly can be done in a matter of seconds. The joints are made with dovetails and a fairly tight fit for a nice press-fit application.&nbsp;<ol><li>Assemble the front two pieces</li><li>Assemble the rear two pieces</li><li>Assemble the front and rear halves together</li></ol>&nbsp;That's all there is to it. Follow my facebook page, RC3D, for giveaways and entry details as well as my latest models.&nbsp;CHANGELOG:&nbsp;UPDATE 12/22/2023:Added v3. This version includes the same sloped edges that the shorty does, as well as a slot for the gasket. I've also included the gasket since the original BLV has nubs that won't work right with this one. The gasket is designed to simply drop into a recess, so it will work on older versions, but you may have to glue it in place.&nbsp;UPDATE 11/25/2023:Added a second version without the drawers. Removed several print profiles and re-organized the files.&nbsp;UPDATE 10/31/2023:I revised the drawer insert and the drawer itself. The new version is very similar, but required just a few changes in order to work probably with the new drawer insert. The insert now fits into the side of the drawer as well, so you'd insert the piece and slide it into the side. This helps avoid issues with alignment and helps position the insert correctly. I also remove the accessories tab from the insert as it made no sense in this application. Instead, the other half of the drawer will just be empty.&nbsp;UPDATE 10/27/2023:Update the insert to fit better, revised the drawer for better printing and fit. The insert and the drawer need to be super glued and held in place for a minute or so (I used clamps) so the bottom sticks to the existing drawer and doesn't snag the edges when the drawer is inserted.&nbsp;UPDATE 10/20/2023:Uploaded an insert to convert the drawers to one similar to the original model. Simply drops in and was intended to just glue in place. I haven't yet tested it, but it's going on the printer tonight so if you'd rather wait I will update this description when mines complete.&nbsp;INITIAL RELEASE 10/15/2023:&nbsp;The design is based on the popular AMS riser by Benlevi. My goal was to reduce the number of pieces, complexity of assembly, and ease of printing. The result is this 4-piece body with dovetail interlocks and 2 drawers. I will be improving on this and am currently printing the latest iteration, but its here for you to try as well. If you find any issues, let me know and I'll make it right.The riser has slots on top for the AMS feet, high and low shelves for the glass Lid, build plate holder, and two drawers.&nbsp;ASSEMBLY:&nbsp;Assemble the front two pieces, then the rear two pieces, then assemble the resulting front and rear halves together. The sequence is important. I glued the pieces for peace of mind, but I'm not sure it's totally necessary. The pieces should only slide together one way.&nbsp;PRINT SETTINGS:&nbsp;• 3 walls• 15% gyroid infill• Supports, snug auto, on build plate only (this is for a small lip at the bottom that will not be visible when installed.)
