Extruder Rotation Visualizer (no glue) [Prusa Mini]

<p><strong>Extruder Rotation Visualizer. No glue needed. For Prusa Mini.</strong></p><p>The idea is that you're going to put one or multiple rare-earth <i>(neodymium)</i> magnets <i>(the final height of the magnet(s) must be at least 4mm)</i> with the diameter of 5mm <i>(5mm is optimal as that is the size of the cut-away hole but you can go smaller)</i> into the cut-away hole and then put one or multiple additional rare-earth <i>(neodymium)</i> magnets on the opposite side of the extruder rotation visualizer to hold it in place.</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/babpZ8OHfSE"></oembed></figure><p>You can see in the video that the extruder rotation visualizer also moves slightly wonky to the sides and doesn't only rotate which is because the magnet(s) don't stick directly to the middle of the extruder stepper motor but are also attracted by something on the sides of the extruder stepper motor. This doesn't anyhow affect the functionality of the extruder rotation visualizer but if you'd want to, you can probably mostly solve it by using larger diameter magnet(s) but you'd also have to change the size of the cut-away hole in the model to account for that.</p>
