UPDATE: 12-10-22 Added new thicker handle. No modifications are required to use it. Bolts right in place of the old thinner handle. The body does NOT! have text on it like the ones in the pictures! Sliced with the latest version of Cura. All parts are in the correct orientation for printing and have been run through 3d builder so you should not have any problems. I have not tried printing the part "bottom tpu" in any other type of plastic other than Tpu so I do not know if it will work. Petg or some other type of mildly flexible filament may or may not work. I needed some decent magnets for moving hardware from large bulk containers to the smaller assembly station containers at work. Prices started at about $20 for the cheap ones (they are not worth a damn. Company purchased 2.) up to $200 for the good ones Company would not pay for). So I designed and printed these. This is the magnet I used: 3" dia. 800 pound pull strength https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R8PF3MJ?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details These are the heat set inserts: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09VL5RLLR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Optional These are the bronze flanged bushings: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095N7Y1Y2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Hardware needed: 1- M10 X 110mm hex head cap screw 4- M4 x 12mm socket head cap screws (handle to body) 4- M4 x 6mm heat set threaded inserts 13- M3 nylon lock nuts 6- M3 flat washers 6- M3 x 22mm socket head cap screws (finger loop mounts) Optional: 6- M3 x 12mm socket head cap screws (shaft support w/ bushing to body) 6- M3 x 6mm socket head cap screws (shaft support to body) There are two versions of the part "shaft support". One is for use with the linked bronze bushing and the other is for no bushing. Depending on your printers accuracy you may need to run a drill bit through the holes or file them slightly. The parts "finger loop mount 1 v2 and finger loop mount 2 v2" are a tight fit to the head of the m10 bolt (I did not add extra clearance). You may need to file out the holes or grind the head of the bolt to get a good fit. The nut pockets on part "finger loop mount 1 v2" are a tight fit. I did not add any additional clearance to them. You may need to use a vise or pliers to press them in or, do like I did and just use a screw and pull them into place before assembly.
