RYOBI FLASHLIGHT MOUNT

thingiverse

Here is a magnetic mount I created to hold my Ryobi flashlight when not in use. I store my batteries at home during winter months, often leaving the light at the last place it was used. So, I designed this mount as a convenient storage solution. The design is based on the battery tower of my 18V batteries. The base has four counterbored holes to secure magnets, preventing them from being pulled out through a straight hole. The magnets I chose are Indigo Instruments - 44205-5, measuring 15x5. They fit snugly into place, with a mild press fit during installation. If your magnets have a loose fit, simply superglue them in place for a secure hold. Feel free to remix this design to suit your needs; I've included a STEP model and a Parasolid file along with the STL. My mount had a tight fit initially, requiring some sanding to achieve the perfect fit. The geometry may not be exact due to a generic GrabCAD model, but I measured an actual battery to ensure accurate sizing.
