[ DOWNLOAD PROFILE ]

This model utilizes [4] 6x3mm magnets which allow you to [Connect aka “Link”] PTFE tubes resulting in Faster and Easier feeding from filament dryers!

📝🛠️ BILL OF MATERIALS ~ ~ ~

[8] 6x3 mm Magnets LINK (US) - Avaliable from Maker's Supply! Both [5x3mm] & [*6x3mm]
OR
[8] 5x3 mm Magnets - LINK BELOW DIRECTLY TO Maker Supply

✅ ASSEMBLY ~ ~ ~

Make sure to [Add pause] @ [Layer #24] / Z: 3.84mm
Grab your [6x3 mm] Magnets
@ Pause [set] Magnets into holes with correct polarity! [EZ way is having them stacked and placing face down same orientation]
Thread PC4-M10 Fittings with Ease

Enjoy seamless hassle free manual loading from a dryer!

📌 IMPORTANT ~ ~ ~

Make sure to note [S] & [N] poles so they attract each other! Otherwise they won't “Link” together
Do not over tighten fittings!
HIGHLY ENCOURAGE [*6x3mm] Magnets for BEST CONNECTIONS!
If you use shorter/smaller magnets; Linking strength between [MagLinks] will NOT be adequte enough!
Test connection system before adding to setup
Don't forget to add a manual [pause] if you're using the RAW FILES & not our print profile!
Currently NOT RECOMMENDED for use between [AMS > AMS BUFFER > TOOLHEAD] X1C & P1S Currently working on a permanent solution in the near future but as of now the risk of disconnection of [MagLink's] will cause [failure to Feed into Toolhead]

💬 BACKGROUND ~ ~ ~

The “MagLink” system is a versatile mechanism which will continue to bring future mods to the community, brought to you by us @Protospyre LLC.

If you use the printing colour to encode north / south of the magnets you will always have two different colours to stick together.

@kreidler This is genius! I’ll see to it that we make that a profile for ease of use!! I’ll also ensure we add a stronger option for magnets. First starting this project the idea was to make the connection breakaway to prevent tension/tangles. P.S If you’re simply loading new filament you can push > through from inside the dryer > grab filament from outside > feed into print head PTFE Tube MagLink then let the filament feed and the Link will move towards the other indicating the filament is moving 👍🏼 I appreciate you’re review and advise and will strongly consider and make the necessary adjustments 🤘🏼

Nice Idea. Somebody mentioned that dismounting is difficult. Just use the blade of a cutter oder knive to press down the lock on the Sunlu. Dismounts in seconds. Nevertheless my magnets (N35?) seems to be a bit weak.

Pause works well and magnets easy to embed. Works well, thank you.

The designer has replied

@ProtoSpyreLLC

Thank you @johnfcooley ! Also appreciate your feedback and will definitely work on a revision to implement the use of the MagLink within the Sunlu S4 Dryer so we can have seamless integration and ease of feeding filament without bending PTFE tubes. We’ve began some other projects alongside this that have helped us so I’ll be adding more photos to this model so everyone is aware of what it’s intended purpose is. As of now we’re also testing MagLink on the A1 Mini for compatibility with the AMS Lite making detachment easy as well 🤙🏼 Thank you again!

@ProtoSpyreLLC

@johnfcooley The [MagLink-FITT] is officially uploaded! Let us know what you think!

They work very well, but if you ever have to remove the bottom, that's a challenge. However if all goes well you won't have to. Thanks, appreciate your work on this.

The designer has replied

@ProtoSpyreLLC

@johnfcooley Thank you for your review! Yes I noted this and will continue over time to see if we can't come up with a better method that's simple and all in one removal. Might be a [2] piece part which you insert [1] into the fitting which will stick outwards enough to push down > [1] into the mated part which feeds filament through. In the works! Thanks again for your feedback as well!
