Eaglemoss Enterprise magnetic ceiling hanger

thingiverse

I'm eager to maximize my space by suspending my Eaglemoss models from the ceiling of a metal cabinet. This should accommodate the 5" Enterprise D or Enterprise C models they manufacture. After two weeks, however, the D model plummeted when the original hanger design failed catastrophically. I strongly advise hanging these models by sliding them onto the back of the saucer section; this approach will reduce stress on the clips due to the ships' center of gravity. The holes are designed for 12mm x 2.7mm size magnets. I've attached a screenshot of my design in Meshmixer, as Thingiverse is currently experiencing thumbnail issues. In an earlier prototype, I successfully tested this design with two super-glued magnets in the hanger notches, and it's still holding up robustly.
