Description

Used to place small magnets with proper orientation. Hold slider down, attracts magnet, place in proper location, pull slider back, magnet is released. Can be used to place any size of small magnets.

Recommended you print two to have one for each orientation. I included recesses in the top of the slider and cap to use a pen spring to hold the slider down, but it works fine without.

Required:

3x3mm cylinder magnet

Pen spring (optional)

Great model! Made two in opposing colors for north or south orientation. I did have an issue with the magnet holding strength on the original so made a few modifications - Thinner front tip - Standardized to 5x3mm magnets - Room for double magnets on the insert tip - Added two magnets recessed into the bottom of the pens so they can be attached to my workbench - Added space for two magnets at the top of the pen instead of the spring, that way the insert holds itself up and out of the way once the magnet is placed. The changes were all done in the slicer so I uploaded my .3mf profile for anyone else that is interested. Thanks for sharing this design!

Had issues with the print sticking even on the textured plate. but added a brim and that solved the issue. also added a +/- to each to show they are different orientations.

These tools are just perfect for installing magnets into my prints, especially the small ones that are hard to keep properly oriented with my fingers. Printed in Bambu PLA Tough and eSun PLA+. I tried using a ball point pen spring but the spring just bent and fell out when used. A spring is not necessary as the description says and actually its probably better without one anyway. Thanks!

Used Bambu basic PLA. for some reason the black filament knocked over the pen portion 3 times. white and grey printed perfect first time each. I needed to make an additional block cylinder for the top of the pen to fill the gap to my pen springs.

A must-have for anyone embedding magnets into your prints! My only issue is that adding a spring to this design isn't particularly viable. The slot for the slider shaft is wide enough that every pen spring I tested would just fall out, and the distance between the cap and the top of the shaft was too long for the spring to push the shaft all the way down, too. Even when not spring loaded, though, this tool is incredibly useful for keeping track of polarity and placement. Would highly recommend!

@user_1193536677

would this work with 6x2mm magnets?

@systematiccaos

If you need a 6x2mm or 6x4mm feel free to checkout my print-in-place model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/378158#profileId-278117 If you need the OpenSCAD to customize the model - let me know, I will be happy to publish them as well. PS: Fair dictum - your model is awesome, especially that industrial design - love it!
