The Quickest Way to Fasten/Unfasten a Lace-Up Shoe. Inspired by Magnetic Shoelaces by adafruit. To Make It Work, You'll Need 12 Neodymium Magnets, Each Measuring 12 Millimeters in Diameter and 5 Millimeters Tall. Get Them at Supermagnete, Available for Purchase Throughout the EU. When Assembling the Pieces, Place the Magnets with Like Poles Facing Up on One Piece and Down on the Other. To Make It Easier to Work With, Use a Marker to Mark the Faces of Each Magnet. Once You Have Your Printed Parts Ready, Simply Insert the Magnets into Their Corresponding Holes and Secure Them with Acetone or PVC Cement, Depending on the Type of Material Used. By Using Netfabb to Cut the Original Piece at 24 and 40 Millimeters Along the Y-Axis, Discard the Middle Section, and Join the Ends Together, You Can Easily Create Pieces with Any Number of Holes, Starting from Two.
