Magnetic KitchenAid Accessory Mount - Parametric

thingiverse

This model is inspired by a base model from S0dyP0p which itself was based on a design by eliko. My model was built from scratch in Fusion 360 and is not built upon their existing models. This remix is intended to include an embedded magnet in order to mount to the underside of magnetic surfaces--in my case, my microwave has ample vertical space below it and is a better spot for these than my cabinets. This design calls for one magnet in the base. The fit is snug, and tolerances may dictate either sizing up slightly or choosing another magnet, but the cavity was designed to fit this magnet: https://www.mcmaster.com/5862K111/ The Fusion 360 project file includes parametric variables for magnet diameter and height as well as base diameter and height, so this can be customized based on whatever magnet design you prefer or is available to you, if not the above. The hold to my microwave is plenty strong enough, but allows for the printed part to rotate if turned too much in locking/unlocking an attachment on the locking peg. This can be rectified by using a stronger magnet, or placing a small bit of rubber or gasket on the underside of the print--preferably recessed to avoid adding too much space between the magnet and your magnetic surface.
