Telescopic Magnetic Grabber Arm

Description

Whether you're fishing out a lost screw, retrieving that stubborn washer that rolled under the couch, or just showing off your cool gadget to friends, this grabber arm is here to save the day.

Technical details

It extends to a whopping 400mm, giving you the reach you need without breaking a sweat. When collapsed, it is only 145mm, allowing for easy portability!

Equipped with powerful neodymium magnets, it's got the grip to snag anything magnetic in its path. The best part? It's print-in-place, so no need to fumble with assembly—just a quick screw-in (and interchangeable) magnetic topper, and you’re ready to grab and go!

Magnets, printed into place!

Each magnetic topper has a pause in the print to allow you to place magnets into the holes so that they can be filled in. I had better luck after making the topper a screw top, and laying it flat. This allows the magnets to stick to the bottom of the metal print plate and not to each other or the extruder!

Check the “Designer” print profile for all magnetic topper sizes. All plates have a pause at the proper layer to insert the magnets before it's printed into place.
