Magnetic Puck Holster for Steampunk Space Gun

thingiverse

I designed this little puck to house some ceramic magnets, allowing it to hold a prop steampunk gun for my son's Halloween costume. The puck fits snugly into the circular part of the Steampunk Space Gun Prop (https://www.costumania.com/products/steampunk-gun). To fit the 3/4" magnet (https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Magnetics-Dyna-Mite-Magnetic-Buttons/dp/B000EY72NK), I had to cut and file down the small plastic piece behind the circular part. I decided that one magnet wasn't enough, so I doubled up the count to two on both sides. The disc should fit snugly behind the magnets. To secure it in place, I glued it using a two-step process. I also glued it to the side of a belt clip I found here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35940). In future versions, I might play with making a half-and-half compartment so that the gun can only point in a binary down or up position as the magnets line up.
