Yarn holder stand, magnetic and spinning

This magnetic yarn holder helps your yarn spin freely and easily!

I wanted to make a yarn holder for my daughters teacher as she loves to crochet. I found some options on here, but they use small magnets, which didn't seem to be able to hold up the weight in my tests. 

This is why I made my own version with bigger magnets and an option to up the magnet strength!

You need a 10x5 magnet and a magnet attracting ball with a maximum size of 12,6mm. I had two sizes on hand and used a smaller size steel ball of 10mm with an added magnet on top of the ball. This makes the attraction even stronger. When the holder is fully printed you can just drop the ball in the hole, add a magnet if you want and put the little cap on top. It will press fit and you can change it if needed.

The hanging part needs 10x6mm magnet which you can glue in place. I used 3 10x2mm magnets, which also works great. 

Make sure the polarity of the magnets is correct if you add the magnet on top of the ball. 

The hanging part has a 170mm long space, so even bigger balls of yarn will fit! 

This model really needs it's supports. Make sure it is on! I also recommend to change to adaptive layer height so the curves look smooth. 

I used Bambu gold PLA because this the favorite color of the teacher according to my daughter. But any PLA or PETG will work. The model has extra thick walls and tops so it will be sturdy enough. I have not tried silk PLA, this could be to brittle. If you try it, let me know how it goes! It would make a pretty holder!

Have fun!
