This is an power bank housing that is compatible with the magsafe inspired mounting system for the Asus ROG ALLY. (https://makerworld.com/en/models/89288)
This housing is specifically for this battery which I think is perfect fit for the Ally. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4W3Z62N/?th=1)
As with the base mounting plate model, please read and follow the assembly instructions carefully.
*****PLEASE READ ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY*****
- Prerequisites:
- Purchase - 80ea of 1/16" thick by 3/16" OD N52 Magnets https://www.mcmaster.com/5862K139/
- Purchase - Superglue
- A fully assembled Ally-Mag Base mounting plate
- Borrow or purchase - an Iphone Magsafe Battery Bank or Magsafe Charger or Magsafe Mount
- IMPORTANT NOTE:
- I used only N52 magnets because these are the strongest magnets. I have no experience with other kinds.
- Pay Careful Attention to the ICON on the Magnet Plates:
- “Magsafe to Ally” has a Controller Icon in the center. Use the fully assembled Ally-Mag Base mounting plate as the base to put magnets on this part.
- “Magsafe to DaisyChain” has a Chain Icon in the center. Use a borrowed Iphone Magsafe Charger or Mount as the base to put magnets on this part.
- POLARITY of how you install the magnets are very important so PLEASE use the correct magnetic base for assembly as described in “2b”.
- Print the parts of the mount in this post. You can print the tool as well to help with assembly but I didn't use it.
- Place the “Magsafe_To_Ally” plate on top of your assembled Ally-mag base mounting plate. Align the center Ally-mag base to the middle of the magnet cavities in the printed part.
- Start placing magnets into the magnet cavities one by one. The magnets should stick to the cavities because of the magnetic Ally-mag base below your printed part.
- Once all magnets are filled up, put a thin layer of super glue in the recessed cavity where the magnets are and attach the printed “Magsafe Cover” on.
- DO NOT REMOVE THE Ally-Mag base from the assembled part until glue is dry.
- Repeat steps 4 through 7 for the “Magsafe_To_DaisyChain” plate but rather than using Ally-mag as the base use a borrowed Iphone Magsafe Charger or Mount for the CORRECT POLARITY.
- Once glue is fully dried, wait maybe 12 hours, and you can put the parts together.
- BE CAREFUL when putting the magnet base in the housing body, use your fingers or something to keep the 2 plate separate and then slide the power bank in-between.
