Magnetic Nordic Skate Holders
Print Profile(1)

Description
These skate holder were designed to fit my Zandstra NIS Nordic skates. I've not tested them with other models from Zandstra but guess they would probably work. They have not been tested with other skate brands (e.g. Isvidda or Ermine). They will not work with hockey, figure or recreational skates. My design files are sized to work with this filament (Bambu Lab PETG-CF) and printed on a BL X1C. Don't think there is anything special about using carbon fiber here; it's just what I had on hand. The magnets just slide in the top and the blade width opening is pretty exact. I buy magnets from K&J Magnetics finding their quality good and they ship fast. For this project I purchased 1"x3/8"x1/8" N42 magnets from K&J. Each holder takes two magnets. Pay attention to the magnetic polarity if you want them to store nicely while skating as seen in my first picture. There is a fitted cap that keeps everything together held in place with silicone sealant. I didn't want to go more permanent as wasn't sure how these would wear and wanted to be able to extract the magnets with not too much effort. The paracord is really there to keep the two parts from getting easily lost and not as a carry handle. The magnets are strong but I wouldn't want a skate to fall out and get banged up.
