Small hex screwdriver handle with magnet

thingiverse

I sought a way to modify components often without gradual loosening resulting from wear on the plastic - a magnet appeared as the best solution. I have incorporated a recess that enables the inclusion of a circular neodymium magnet (5mm diameter, 3mm thickness), secured by a drop of superglue.\nI have included the OpenScad file I wrote to add the recess to 4volt's original .stl - it is fairly easy to adjust the values to accommodate various sized circular magnets. The script simply removes a cylinder from the original design, so you will need to download 4volt's original to the same location as the OpenScad file for it to work. Details of this are included as comments in the file.\nTo those unfamiliar with OpenScad, let me know in the comments if you require an .stl file for a particular magnet and I will add them when I get a chance.\nPrint Settings\nRafts: Doesn't Matter\n Supports: Doesn't Matter Post-Printing\nSecuring the Magnet I attached the magnet to an Allen key (use any object with magnetic properties, a drill bit works well too), added a drop of superglue to the face of the magnet and used the key to press it into place.
