This design is a modified version of the original created by @gelimelech (Thank you), which you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6203631Overview:This caliper holder is designed to accommodate both 6" (150mm) and 8" (200mm) metal calipers. If you're in need of a model for a larger 12" (300mm) caliper, I also have a specific design for that, which you can find on my profile.Magnetic Attraction:The holder incorporates magnets that provide a "medium" to "strong" magnetic attraction to secure the calipers in place. This means that your caliper won't easily fall off the holder if it's bumped into. However, it's important to note that the magnetic attraction will diminish once the caliper is lifted to a 45-degree angle.Installing Magnets:To ensure the magnets stay securely in place, I've added two rectangular slots on the bottom of the caliper base. Here's a recommended method to install the magnets:Apply a generous amount of superglue as the base layer.Carefully insert each magnet, taking into account the magnets' polarity to avoid repulsion.Allow the superglue to dry for a full 24 hours.While the base layer of superglue is drying, run another bead of superglue around the seams of the magnets to further secure them in place.Magnet Dimensions:The magnets used in this design measure 60mm in length, 10mm in width, and 3mm in depth.https://www.amazon.com/Powerful-Neodymium-Magnets-Rare-Earth-Magnet/dp/B09TKNSDQ7/ref=sr_1_18?crid=33D17M8SR6G6H&keywords=60mmx9mm%2Bbar%2Bmagnet&qid=1697619273&sprefix=60mmx9mm%2Bbar%2Bmagnet%2Caps%2C81&sr=8-18&th=1
