Description

The Legion Go is a great handheld gaming system so I hope a lot of you are getting one for the holidays.

 

I'd designed a system of magsafe inspired mounts and housings to support the accessories for the Legion Go. At this point, I have a mount for the Anker 737 Battery and a mount for the Vention USBC Hub which I will post separately.

 

This is a replacement for the stand that is currently on the Legion Go.

 

I have been using a similar system on my ROG Ally for close to 6 months now (too lazy to upload). The mounting is very sturdy if you follow my assembly instructions.

 

*****PLEASE READ ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY*****

 

  1. Prerequisites:
    1. Purchase - 40ea of 1/16" Thick, 3/16" OD N52 Magnets https://www.mcmaster.com/5862K139/
    2. Purchase - 6ea of M2 x 0.4 mm, 2.5 mm heatset insert https://www.mcmaster.com/94459A110/
    3. Purchase - Superglue
    4. Borrow or purchase - an Iphone Magsafe Battery Bank or Magsafe Charger or Magsafe Mount
  2. IMPORTANT NOTE:
    1. I used only N52 magnets because these are the strongest magnets. I have no experience with other kinds.
    2. POLARITY of how you install the magnets are very important so PLEASE use an Iphone Magsafe Battery Bank or Charger or Mount as the base for assembly.
    3. DO NOT use an IPHONE as the base for magnet assembly - this is the REVERSE polarity you want.
  3. Print the 2 parts of the mount in this post. You can print the tool as well to help with assembly but I didn't use it.
  4. Install the 6 heatset inserts onto the “LeGo-Mag Base”.
  5. Place the “LeGo-Mag Base” on top of your borrowed Iphone Magsafe Mount or Charger. Align the CIRCLE of the Iphone Charger/Mount to the middle of the magnet cavities in the printed “LeGo-Mag Base”.
  6. Start placing magnets into the magnet cavities one by one. The magnets should stick to the cavities because of the Iphone Charger/Mount below your printed part.
  7. Once all magnets are filled up, put a thin layer of super glue in the recessed cavity in the “LeGo-Mag Base” and attach the printed “Magsafe Cover” on.
  8. DO NOT REMOVE THE IPHONE CHARGER/MOUNT until glue is dry.
  9. Once glue is fully dried, wait maybe 12 hours, and you can unscrew the stand on the Legion Go and then screw the replacement stand on.
