Phaser type 2 magnetic bracket

thingiverse

Shipbrook's model is fantastic, but I found the clipping mechanism for attaching the type 1 phaser body to the type II body somewhat less than robust for my needs. So I threw together this little widget.You will need 8mm magnets ( got a bunch in a packet at hardware store, I am assuming they are all sourced from same manufacturers, so size shouldn't be an issue)assembly:1) First, glue one magnet to bottom of the type I phaser, where here is a round indent. let this harden before doing any other steps.2) then, making sure you get orientation right on second magnet to mate with first, press fit into the bracket. To be safe, you can glue it in as well. 3) The package of magnets I bought came with a bunch. Use spare magnets to act as a "handle" to manipulate your bracket/magnet combo. 4) Put glue on the ears of the bracket and using the magnet handle, place it roughly into place in type II phaser body. make sure glue has enough grab to hold it in place, then remove the extra magnet handle. make sure there is no extra glue that might adhere the type I phaser to the type II body in last step.5) while glue is still not set up, place type I phaser into type II phaser cradle. This allows for any errors or variation in assembly, and magnet you placed on type I phaser will hopefully draw your freshly glued bracket into final alignment. Let set, making sure there is no stray glue that would glue the type 1 to the type II directly, and it is only the magnets holding the two together. You may want to pull the type I off temporarily to check. but then place it back, so that it holds everything in place until glue sets.
