Sofirn LT1S endcap magnets

This is a remix utilizing nine (9) D8H1 magnets from K&K magnetics or any other 12.7mm (1/2 inch) diameter magnet that is 2.54-3.175mm thick (1/10-1/8 inch). (Personally, I actually use 10 magnets, slipping one under the spring in the center as well). https://www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D8H1 Additionally, the original seems tight in the cap. This is slightly smaller with the inner diameter being 28.5mm and the outside diameter is 54.75mm. The magnet holes are 12.8mm, creating a tight and firm fit without needing finger-breaking pressure to set them. It is tight enough not to need super glue, but I put a dot in each magnet hole to hold it anyways. Finally, there is a one-layer thick bottom added to allow gluing without a tremendous mess. What I personally do is I take a piece of parchment paper and place it on a metal printing plate, then place the printed piece. Next, I place a drop of super glue in each hole closest to the inner diameter. Then, I place each magnet making sure that the North/South asix is in the same orientation (this will cause resistance in placing them right next to each other, so use your finger to keep them jumping until they're pushed into their hole, once placed they will stay put). I then let it dry over night on the parchment paper. **THERE MAY BE SLIGHT LEAKING OF CA GLUE, SO BE MINDFUL OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT** The one time I rushed the drying, I got super glue on the threads of the lantern. Acetone will get the glue off threads when you rush this the first time and make this mistake. The edges are mildly filleted, but you would have to print at a pretty small resolution to take advantage of it.
