Magnetic Switch

<p>This is a magnetic switch that uses cheap whiteboard magnets and standard #10 hex nuts to work. Demonstration:<br/> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/YaQXLcFUSg4"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>I originally saw<br/> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9tZIFfM14o">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9tZIFfM14o</a><br/> from Andrew Klein and wanted to make my own. I saw other users such as<br/> <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3556210">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3556210</a><br/> had the idea to use standard nuts so it can be assembled at home easily.</p> <p>This design takes it a few steps further by using space more efficiently to allow more magnets and therefore larger magnetic fields, an internal locking feature, and a snap-fit assembly made entirely of 3D printed parts.</p> <p>I recommend using a bench vice to install the press-fit part, make sure it is fully seated.</p> <p>Required Materials:<br/> 12x #10 Hex Nuts<br/> <a href="https://amzn.to/2ztHLP3">https://amzn.to/2ztHLP3</a></p> <p>24x 10x5x3mm Magnets<br/> <a href="https://amzn.to/2VHKfBW">https://amzn.to/2VHKfBW</a></p> <p>The provided g-code prints the handle body with supports, this isn't necessary and it can be printed without them if the orientation is reversed.</p> <p>If you make it post a picture!</p>
