3D Printing thread

Hey gang, I am working on several ideas for thing that need magnets embedded in them.

How do you embed magnets? I want to use N51 or 52 so they will need to be waterproofed somehow. Suggestions?

I have also seen/tried using magnets exposed so you can see the wear and tear on it. This way if it starts to corrode you can pull and replace.

When I did the new mount for the Nero 5's I used magnets from K&J that already had a rubberized coating. Then printed an enclosure out of PETG that was slightly larger, then encased the magnet in the enclosure with an epoxy resin. I left a hole in the top to pour the final amount of epoxy in and to allow air to escape. Sand the top down after curing and that magnet will never ever rust.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Also you can find 1mm neoprene on Amazon which is great for the glass side of the magnets and provides friction. Just take a foam brush with a bit of excess epoxy, and stick to the back side of the enclosure. Mount the magnet to something metal to squish the epoxy while setting. Then trim with a razor blade.

I ended up just paying extra for epoxy coated magnets designed for aquarium use.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any large epoxy coated magnets that will be strong enough to couple through 1/2" and hold up a frag rack. Do you have a specific link?

3d printed clamp for Radion mounts to work with eurobraced tank. Not sure if I would trust this on a single mount, but if it is beefed up and install stainless bolts inside the plastic for reinforcement it may work on that

I am using this omulti-mount mount which has an arm on each side of the tank, but no way to secure it to a eurobrace. Without the brace, it could easily be knocked over. This solves this problem.

Does anyone 3D print tunze3155 controller holder? Cheaper then eBay?

Published the frag plug molds I made last year.
I printed them with TPU and they turned out great. The tile molds also work well when printed with PETG.

Kit. Wasn't waiting for the assembled model and have built a couple so this should be fine.

My thoughts as well if/when I get one it'll be kit

Will share it tomorow :)

Man you gonna kill me, sorry I forgot :(
I just place it to my dropbox. 1200 and 2000 works gr8, 4000 is overloaded with pins, but in Deltec SC2560 it works more then perfect.

No worries mate, I've been flat out busy recently anyway and just figured you have been the same :) Thanks for remembering though!

Are they for the Jebao 1200, 2000 and 4000? Or are they all for the 6000 with just different numbers of pins?
