OpenSCAD Customizer Options

This design has the following Customizer options:

General

• Material_Thickness - The minimum thickness of the material

You will need

You also will need:

• 2x strong magnets, e.g. 10mm x 2mm neodymium magnets

Design Considerations

To ensure the magnets fit snugly, we recommend making the Magnet_Hole_Diameter slightly smaller than the actual diameter of the magnets. You can then use a blunt implement, such as a flat screw driver, to gradually increase the size of the holes until the magnets can be inserted. To insert a magnet, simply place the magnet on a flat surface, align the magnet with a hole and apply a little downward pressure.

Alternatively, you can make the Magnet_Hole_Diameter a little larger and use some strong glue to ensure the magnets remain in place.

Material

This design is perfect for printing in many filaments, including PLA, PETG and ABS.
