Pencil Magnet

thingiverse

I use them in my woodshop to secure pencils on my machinery, ensuring one is always within reach. This particular design accommodates a 6 x 3 mm neodymium magnet perfectly. Initially, it was intended for an interference fit to hold the magnet firmly in place; however, I discovered that it would slightly deform when slid onto a pencil. To prevent this issue, I insert the magnet with a tiny drop of Duco cement; CA glue serves as a reliable alternative. Typically, I print 8 or 9 at a time for convenience.
