Multiple pendulums fits 3 or 5mm magnets for different yarn weights, print multiple pendulums for easy colour changes or switching between projects. Base designed to be paused during print at approximately 13mm height and filled with sand for additional weight. Magnets can be placed in pendulums, arm or both, as an example: For 250g yarn: 5mm ball magnet in arm, 5x5mm cylindrical magnet in pendulum For 100g yarn: rounded metal dowel in arm, 3 5x2mm cylindrical magnets in pendulum For 50g yarn: rounded metal dowel in arm, 2 3x3mm cylindrical magnets in pendulum All pendulums fit both the large and regular size arms except the large-5mm pendulum which is too tall for the regular arm. Round pendulums print as one piece standing upright but are not as strong as the standard ones which are printed laying flat with a pendulum base separate to be assembled afterwards.
