Description

After seeing the cable management magnets over at LTT and their price, I figured it would make much more sense to make them myself.

 

The only magnets I have right now are neodymium magnets, they were advertised as 6x3mm, but I found them to be 2.55 thick. No idea if that is a standard measurement, please let me know what yours are so I can modify accordingly. That said, thinner should work fine.

 

I will be creating models for larger magnets, if you have certain sizes you would like to see, let me know and include the actual dimensions of the magnets. I will also be modifying the look of the model, so if you don't really care for this look, just wait a bit and I will uploading different versions. That one will also add plates to connect the magnets to, so that they can be used on wood and other materials.

 

I tested the single magnet version for upto 300 grams, double for about 600 grams and triple allowed me to lift up a 710 grams harddrive, no idea what the maximum weight will be, I guess 900 could be it, but I do not know how this adds up.

 

The print profiles have a pause in it so you can put the magnets in, because yes, they are embedded in the print. If you want to do your own profiles, in Bambu you can go to your preview, go to the first layer that covers the hole, click right on the + of the slider, and add the pause.

For light stuff I imagine the single magnet version should be fine, otherwise I would recommend just using the double magnet version, or even triple, these magnets are pretty much dirt cheap anyway.
