Magnetic mount for Apple Pencil

youmagine

I created a simple, detachable magnetic dock for my iPad Pencil that attaches to the longer side of the iPad with magnets. I designed both a shorter version with one magnet and a longer version with two magnets - the shorter one works but I prefer the longer one. The iPad Pencil is 8.9 mm in diameter, and my tube design measures 9.3 mm. The magnets stick to the pencil as well, keeping it secure within the tube even when standing upright. To print the mount from ABS, wipe out the magnet hole with acetone and a cotton bud - this makes the ABS sticky and holds the magnets firmly in place without additional glue. Before fixing the magnets inside their chamber, test them on the iPad's longer side to align their orientation.
