great project but still need a little refine due to locking issue + I hate to work with rubber bands... they are not only broken down with each day more and more but also always slip and much more... IDK that's only me or what but rubber bands sucks af.

I have the Neiko spring assortment. I think a well placed compression spring in here would help a lot!

Thank you for sharing this model. It's really well designed and highly functional. Your instructions were clear and easy to follow. I printed this in Bambu Matte Charcoal (body) and Matte Dark Red (case/cap). No major issues with these materials. I used a slightly stronger than normal N52 NdFeB (ø6x2mm) magnet, which caused some issues with the "loading" and transfer of the new magnet to the end of the picker. To address this, I slightly shaved / sanded down the diagonal of the picker, which gave the magnet a slightly easier bending radius to make the turn. Note for others who are printing this model: When I live, they sell sets of M3 screws only in odd sides - and I had trouble obtaining a M3x5, but the M3x6 screw worked. Because of the good design, you actually don't need to tighten too much the screws as the screw body holds things in place, rather than the binding force of the screw. The strength (crush-ability) of the material you print in will determine how much you can tighten the screw (otherwise you will split the materials), but in this case over-tightening isn't required.

Got my second one printing now - I've gone with the red and blue accent colours too. Thanks so much for this design it rectifies the 2 reasons I didn't print v1

Glad you like it. did you assemble the first one already? If yes did you have any problems with it?

Replying to @EmGi :
The first part that is screwed cracked on the outermost hole. Hard to say if that is a design or printing fault but may benefit from moving along a fraction. The second case has got cracked pretty quickly on some of the thin diagonal sections by the screw holes, I'd prefer these slightly beefier

Replying to @benjaminhinett :
Interesting. What Filament did you use? I used Elegoo Rapid PLA+ and had none of these problems. But yeah those thin diagonals seem like a risk

Fantastic. Works flawlessly. I've added a small text field so I can distinguish them faster. Can the 6x2 also hold 5x2 magnets?

Looks good. Yes, 5x2mm magnets should work with the 6x2mm variant.

This is a great print! The only tiny little complaint I have is with the PDF instructions. The choice of yellow background with black parts are very hard to see orientation on some pages.

this thing is so awesome! I printed the 6x2 magnet version and used m3x6 and m3x12 screws and it works perfectly

Works pretty well. I printed the 5mm and 6mm size. The rubber band bit is a bit of a hassle - maybe a spring like someone else suggested. The rubber band kept detaching inside the housing of the 6mm assembly, and i had to buy braces bands. Other than that, everything is great!

I love the tool. Over-engineered and great design. However, I faced quite a few challenges during printing and assembly: PETG HF struggled with overhangs, magnets took ages to arrive, installing the rubber band nearly drove me insane, and the blue model keeps getting stuck. That said, full points for the designer’s YouTube channel and this wonderfull therapeutic distraction. I’d absolutely do it all over again!
