Wow that's was already great you'r project is inspiring to see how much thought and care went into making it , shout out to all the makers like you who go the extra mile to share their hard work with the whole community ! This magnet insertion tool will i'm sure become a must have for many makers out there (please everybody remember who share it first ) . People like you are what make the open-source world thrive . So huge thanks for pushing boundaries and keeping the spirit of sharing alive!
With all the extra tweaks you are doing to make this tool better and better, I wouldn't be surprised to see in the future makers demanding that designs with magnets use ones compatible with this machine :D
These types of projects embodies everything I love about 3D printing since these are the things that for once are unrealistic to achieve without using 3D printing
That's a nice project and a good solution to put a lot of magnets very easy and quick. For your V3 you can add a "switch" or something like turning device inside the tool. With this turning device you could easy turn the magnets and their polarity. So this way you can use only one tool for both polarities 😊
having one for each polarity is nice for when you need mating magnets. No need to remember what polarity you are on with a single device that can switch.
Dang it. I just printed like two of the last one yesterday. Spent like 10 minutes sanding down the pin on that second one so it'd move smoothly, too. Guess I'm printing even more.
Saw this over on makerworld, algorithm fed me your video, very very cool design, please keep it up this is the engineering and prototyping we need in the world.
I love how the design improved. While watching the video I had two more ideas to make it even better. First one is mainly personal preference, but I would love to see the rubber band replaced by a steel spring. Or maybe even a 3D printed one if the room inside makes it possible to fit one strong enough. Second thought was: if you split the (black) body into two parts length wise, it would make assembly so much easier and less prone to mistake. The outer shell should be enough to keep it together, especially when you add locking pins to the design
Thanks for the feedback. i thought about using a steel spring first but i thought its easier for people who want to build their own device to use a rubberband instead of ordering a specific spring. im not really experienced with 3d printed springs but i doubt it would give a statisyfing feeling when pushing the lever in splitting the body is worth thinking about. i agree that the assembly is quite complicated and its possible to make a mistake and not even notice the mistake.
I have a question for the part at the beginning of 4:12 where you show the mechanism and the tunnel. The part in orange is defining the thickness of the magnets used (1mm or 2mm high etc), right? and that's the part that makes it necessary to print different versions. now I've noticed the tip is already detachable (probably to fix jams), but with the jam problems out of the way, why not make the funnel and the tip one part, that can be exchanged easily, so you only need to print one casing (or two, one for each polarity), but then you can print different inserts for different magnet sizes. as diameter should not matter that much (up to a maximum of course), interchangeable inserts for thickness would be perfect. I'm not good at 3D modelling myself, so I have no idea how hard that would be to make. but I really love that thing at would love to see it improve
What if you would make a holder that you insert from the side that contains the magazine magnet. That way you can pull that out and even make it reversable. That leaves only the tip to be reversable to have a generic solution for both polarities
This is literally a design I was going to need in the next couple months for one of my projects. A version that could be used in tight spaces, like putting magnets into a paused print, would be a game changer.
This is an incredible example of what drew me to this technology. Fantastic design and execution. Downloading and printing this week. I’ve managed to procure an excellent machine for printing such things. Next, the journey to the cad skills required to join you in such efforts. Thanks for setting an incredible standard in what can be achieved. I put you up there with Chris Borge and if you take a look at his tools you’ll seem some other incredible examples of well thought out and well crafted tools for every day use. THANK YOU!
Great development, loving the idea and solving a great problem. I think the only thing it needs is for a single product (maybe with one or two toolless interchangeable parts) that is capable of utilising a greater range of diameter and thickness magnets. Nice work!!
download this project, it's currently printing. just wanted to say, when polarity matters a great way to do this is to make a jig. with gridfinity each piece is is own functional jig. for the bases just stack up 2 more magnets on an already finished base and put your new base on top. just drop a magnet in and it's right. for the bins ect, just install a single small bin with magnets upside down and then you have a 4x press jig. just add 4 more magnets and press into the bottom of an empty bin. now you have me thinking, should be pretty easy to design this as a 3 part shaft and screw. not as smooth or easy to reload
For that tricky step where you glue a magnet inside to anchor the magazine - perhaps you could open a slot on the side instead. You would just push the magnet into rather than doing the elaborate fishing proceedure.
I thought the same. Put a little bar that holds the magazine magnet and slide it in from the side next to the magnet magazine entrance. You could even make this reversable and it mabe could lock in the housing if it passes through several parts saving maybe a few screws.
Man, this is such a great project! And you did it with blender? I guess it's nice that you can do those animations in the same software. - good solution to a problem - clear goal, and good explanation of your thought, and design process - clear, well framed animations - a full assembly on video I think you will go places on this platform, and I'm curious what videos will you come up with :)
Great work! Any thoughts on the possibility of making one that can work with multiple magnet sizes? I can see how making one compatible with multiple thicknesses would be a problem with the ramp. But could you make a single tool for a large diameter and then just have tube adapters for smaller diameters? Just to cut down on the number of tools needed...
i would love to reduce the ammount of tools needed. would have saved me alot of time and filament as well but i havent found a good and simple solution for that
Just subscribed to your channel! Wonderful video, easy to follow, amazing visuals from cad to print, and who doesn't want to see 3d prints pulled out of a computer screen 3:02!
Neodymium is a rare earth metal that's pretty environmentally impactful to mine and refine, right? Just wondering have you considered this when choosing whether to use magnets or some other attachment mechanism? E.g a sort of plastic key you can insert through a hole and turn to tighten etc... There's that climate crisis etc so I hope you're thinking about those sorts of things.
I need to insert magnets that are 4x2, do you think the 6x2 version would work with 4x2? Awesome design, i'm inspired by your attitude of striving for perfection. As a new entrant to the 3d printing community I thank you for your dedication!
thats one thing i hate. i bought a noname printer kit back in 2019 and i spent more time fixing the printer than actual printing. i just want a printer that i plug in and it works
Amazing design and creativity man! Just a question, what's wrong with your printer's Z axis? There is a lot of bands in your prints. I have a similar problem with my ender 3 s1 and improved it a lot by loosening the Z axis screw holders.
im not sure if there is something specific wrong with my Z-axis. sometimes parts come out perfect. sometimes they have some kind of wobbling. but i will check it out
@@EmGi_ In my case it was "Z binding" the infinite screw was catching and making that pattern. I loosened the Z axis screws and applied lithium grease to the infinite screw, that helped a lot.
You could get away with one set if the 3D printing community could agree on a common standard for all commonly used components like magnets, bearings, maybe a range of standard small, medium, and large stepper motors, etc. Unfortunately, the reality is the majority of projects uploaded were designed to fit the needs of the designer, so they tend to use whatever they have on hand whenever possible. Having said that, if you come up with a design for something a lot of people will want and be willing to pay for and you decide to sell the files, go back and make sure everything you used was standard where possible and available off the shelf if not.
Really great design! Well done. I will say it though - the most common magnets used for 3D printing at 6x3mm magnets. Any chance of a 6mm x 3mm version?
@@EmGi_ This is the one consideration I was thinking about. As amazing as this is, designs use all sorts of different magnet sizes and there is no real community standard. Maybe this toll will help push one :)
i started my v1 with 5x1mm magnets. then people requested 6x2 and 8x2 because they said these are the most used magnets. now i did v2 with 5x1, 6x2 and 8x2 and now people are asking for 10x2, 10x3, 5x2 and all other kind of sizes. A community standard would have saved me so much time
@@EmGi_ Voron, VZbot, Klicky Probe and many mods for those or derivatives all seem to use 6x3 magnets. I have some of both 6x3 and 6x2. I love your design
I was struggling to get my print to work, till I realized I use 6x1 magnets not 6x2. Any chance for a 6x1 version? Love the idea, but I guess I just use a weird magnet size.
If you use the "5x1 Lever extension" and increase the length of the Mag by 1mm it should work with 6x1mm magnets. Or use the 5x1 mag and increase the Hole size in the slicer by using a boolean cylinder if you are familiar with that
Genau das dachte ich mir auch. Verwende eigentlich keine Magnete in meinen Modellen und drucken, aber das hier, das wird einiges ändern! Super starkes Modell
I understand that you’d need a different tool for each magnet thickness. But wouldn’t one tool at least work with different magnets diameter, of the same thickness? As long as they’re smaller than the mag hole diameter? 🤔 And I can’t keep wondering if it would be possible to make the design somehow to also support different thickness…
Actually yes. i didnt keep that in mind when designing the device because i had the impression 5x1, 6x2 and 8x2 are the magnets used the mosed but now im getting so many requests for diffrent magnet sizes, so looking back should have done a few things diffrent. But i tested 5x1 magnets with the 6x2 device and it always dispended 2 5x1 magnets (i had no 5x2 magnets at home)
the Diameter of the magnets should not matter, but thickness does. You probably could use 8x1, 6x1, 5x1 or even smaller all on the same device. but as soon as you change thickness they'll either get stuck, or dispensed two at a time. only real solution would be to make the funnel interchangeable
watch the previous videos. he goes over the frustrations of manually inserting magnets and the problems that this device solves. This particular video is an improvement on the previous design while the previous design was a major improvement on manual insertions.

How have I not found this channel sooner! Such a cool design I'm printing all of them right now!!! Thank you so much!
Outstanding work! Awesome improvements over the previous design. Thank you!
For your V3 you could use a rotating covers to limit the diameter of the space for the magnets, so you could use whatever size magnets you want.
That edge idea is actually really cool
Great development, loving the idea and solving a great problem. I think the only thing it needs is for a single product (maybe with one or two toolless interchangeable parts) that is capable of utilising a greater range of diameter and thickness magnets. Nice work!!
I agree. having too many diffrent tools bothers me as well. But i had not idea that people use THAT many diffrent magnet sizes
@@EmGi_agreed. I’d guess most common for repetitive magnet placement are 2mm - 6mm dia and thickness from 1mm - magnets dia? Again, nice work😃
That first white print would be ideal when your elder, place-maker wearing neighbor keeps stealing your newspaper.
Awesome. I was surprised by how few parts this takes
This is super cool
The next step is to have it a fully automated tool for a printer like the Prusa XL
wow! great improvement. Thank you for sharing

Great work ! Just finished the previous version so now printing this one. Thanks for your work and sharing.
Glad you like it!

@@EmGi_ What happens when you put a smaller magnet in a larger tool? Does it jam?
i tried using 5x1mm magnets with the 6x2mm device and it placed 2 5x1mm magnets very consistent
Many 3d prints use 6x3 and 5x3 magnets so you can consider making a version for these sizes. It would be very welcome since it is an awesome tool.
I added a 6x3 Version. And i think 5x3 magnets should work with the 6x3 Version as well
It's funny how simple, yet functional it is SuperVinlin

Perhaps have a threaded insert for the magazine for different sizes of magnets?
this makes me want to buy a 3D Prnter
Incredible work
A big thank you for the project and for publishing the STL files.
As feedback: the music is for me a bit too distracting 😔

What about the gridfinity prints for magnet storage? That seems perfect!
Oh wow i somehow forget those. If i find some time i will add them
Super cool. Good job.
excellent design!
i always had the idea of a magnet on a geared axle that would flip back and forth to attach and detach magnets
You could try develop one that tha same tip with the magnet is the push button. It may need an 3 phases operation, probable cyclical.

That small edge could wear of pretty fast ? No ? 4:39
So far noone of mine is worn out. and i used it quite a few times during testing. But it doesnt take long to print a new tip if it wears out
How do you make these animations?

Wait, you design in blender??
Yes. But im currently in the process of learning Fusion360 as it might be better suited for projects like this
