Strong Magnetic Rift S/Quest controller mount for VRGM

thingiverse

WARNING: These magnets are really strong. You can get hurt with them. This is not for kids. I like a very strong magnetic pull for my controller, probably stronger than most. I created this to handle strong magnets. These can be modified, to a certain extent, by modifying the bottom....or top part to seat the magnet lower which will lessen the amount of force required to pull them apart. My first attempt was too strong even for me. I dropped the bottom magnet by 2mm and it seems just right now...if not a bit too strong....for me. It takes an aggressive pull, but dropping fools in Onward takes aggression anyway, right? On my printer I used a 32.6mm hole with maximum roundness in Tinkercad and it fits like a glove. The dimension will depend on your printer, but that is something to start with if you want to deepen the hole to decrease the pull force. I used these magnets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073X4YZMC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 MISC notes: These fit onto the original VRGM but can be a tad loose based on your printer. They can use any of the fixed controller cups provided in the original VRGM package. I had a very small wiggle and I fixed it by sliding the tip of a small zip tie into the crack...problem fixed. Most anything would probably work. I might eventually just use a soldering iron chisel tip and weld them down. I did this with the VRGM pieces in places and it works great. It can even fix broken parts and you can get more use out of them. Again, be careful...you should never need to have your hands low enough to get pinched, but it can happen. Use with caution. I'm not responsible for your fingers!
