D10x3 mm Round Magnet (20PCS) - CA009

Description

Stay oriented in the wild with our Mini Camp Compass, a compact and innovative 3D-printable tool perfect for camping, survival kits, and outdoor adventures. Unlike other 3D-printed compasses that rely on floating in water, this design uses a barrel-shaped pivot system that allows the magnet to freely rotate and point north—all without any liquid!

Featherlight Efficiency: Weighing only 3g, it’s an ultralight addition to any survival kit.
Magnet Magic: Requires just one 10x3mm magnet to function—simple and effective.
Pocket-Sized Power: Less than 14mm tall, it’s easy to carry and store, making it ideal for on-the-go adventurers.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • No Water Needed: No need to carry extra liquids or worry about spills.
  • Easy to Use: Just place on a smooth, level surface and give it a gentle nudge to align north.
  • Versatile Utility: Great for outdoor education, emergency kits, and survival scenarios.

🛠️ How to Build:

  1. Place Magnet: Position the magnet on its side, far from metal or other magnets.

     

  2. Snap to North: Gently bump or poke it until it aligns with magnetic north.
  3. Mark It: Label the north-facing side with a sharpie.
  4. Start Print: When paused at the magnet insertion point, place the magnet north-side up, then resume printing.

🎯 How to Use:

  1. Place the compass on a smooth, level surface.
  2. Keep it at least 1 meter away from any metal or magnets for accuracy.
  3. Give it a gentle poke to ensure it aligns properly.

Compact, durable, and easy to use—the Mini Camp Compass is a must-have tool for every outdoor enthusiast! 🌲🧭
