Uploaded raw .blend File. sadly i noticed that i cant export STEP files with blender so i cant upload the STEP files for now. i ordered 6x2mm Magnets so i can test a compatible version for that first before uploading.

INTRODUCTION

If you ever had to insert Magnets into 3D Prints you probably know the struggle of 

• inserting the tiny magnets into tiny holes
• Inserting magnets the wrong way into the part
• getting Superglue to your fingers

i tried to solve all of those problems and this tool is the result. with the handle pulled out you can pick up magnets, with the handle pushed in you can drop them. 

Magnet sizes currently tested and supported:

• 5x1mm
• 6x2mm
• 8x2mm

It basically works with every similar magnets. and with 5x1 internal magnets you can also pick up 8x2 magnets and so on.

Magnets i used:

5x1mm (reflink)

6x2mm (no longer available on amazon?)

8x2mm (no longer available on amazon?)

FILAMENT

i used PLA+ from Elegoo but any other Pla should work as well

PLA+ from Elegoo (reflink)

Other Hardware you need:

• 2x M3x8mm Bolt

I reccomend printing 2 tools. 1 for each pole of the magnet. I printed one in Red and one in blue.
