Magnetic Knots for NASA Chainmail Necktie

thingiverse

10/8/22 Edit: I changed the offsets of the magnets so the magnets stick in the coupler a little more. I found that my shirt collar was popping it off. I also added a few more knot designs using logos. Original: I love the Nasa Chainmail Necktie, but I was unable to get the hooks on the bottom of the knots to print. Out of 4 knots (MueCa's flat remixes too) exactly 1 hook printed somewhat right... and then it broke! :( I am a beginner at Fusion360, but eventually I figured out how to remove the hooks and insert Magnet Holes for a 6x3 magnet. These are snap fit, so very tight! I actually have to press them against the desk to get them in. Also, the magnets are set to rest just a hair under the edge of the coupler and a hair out of the knots. This should prevent it from sliding too easily. They still come off easily by hand, but i find less chance of it sliding around on accident. I also recommend alternating poles vertically as it always goes to the correct position this way. I've already printed the coupler from tjwatson and the flat from MueCa, which worked perfectly for me. I'm currently printing the other 3 knots from HalB9000 and MueCa. I also wish I had dual extruders, cause that full Deco knot from tjwatson looks awesome! https://youtu.be/_pKLfYe0n5E
