<b>Magnetic Connector </b> To magnetically connect 2 pins. <b>Requirements</b> 1. 4 10 x 10 x 3mm or 8 10 x 5 x 3mm neodymium magnet. 2. Thin sheet of metal thickness of 0.3 ~ 1.0mm. 3. Pliers for accurate metal bending. 4. Wires. <b>Magnets</b> 10x10x3mm neodymium magnet https://www.amazon.com/30-Piece-10x10x3mm-rectangular-refrigerators-whiteboards/dp/B07G13MYVK/ref=sr_1_28?crid=190GS07K30YOB&dchild=1&keywords=magnet+10mm+x+3mm&qid=1609115335&sprefix=magnet+10mm+%2Caps%2C197&sr=8-28 10x5x3mm neodymium magnet https://www.amazon.com/RUTILISM-10%C3%975%C3%973mm-curtain-screen-refrigerator/dp/B07TB6J7JD/ref=sr_1_40?dchild=1&keywords=magnet+10mm&qid=1609210587&sr=8-40 <b>Sheet Metal</b> I use an scrap air vent metal witch is solderable. <b>Steps</b> 1.Cut metal to the indicated pattern. 10x10x3mm : https://easel.inventables.com/projects/lYaNe-_WVjVV-co6GR4LgA 10x5x3mm : https://easel.inventables.com/projects/-c1JPaECJlbYmpCgISItpw you can use a small cnc router or manually cut the dimensions based on the link above 2.Bend the parts specified in the image cradling the magnet. 3.Solder a wire to the metal sheet (Make sure to remove the magnet before soldering). 4.Repeat steps 1-3 4 times. 5.3D print the connector casing 2 times. 6.Attach metal sheet covered magnets to the bottom of the print with the magnet alternating poles. To avoid flip connection.(you don't have to know which is north as long that its alternating) The Fitting should be loose so that each could get pushed up or move down to allow connection. 7.Close of the bottom with some duck tape .
