It's just like the original SpaceChem pin, but with internal sockets for 5mm Nd (neodymium) based spherical magnets! (eg. Buckyballs)

Since they're able to rotate freely, you can attach the Nd pin to any other magnets and it should behave itself. This includes pinning it to a shirt/uniform without piercing the fabric.

Additionally, the pause needed to insert the magnets is an excellent opportunity to add contrast by changing the filament to another color!

I intend to more fully document the process of inserting the magnets on another thing, but they're being published out-of-order because I wanted to post this remix less than 24 hours from the original. :)

2013-05-21: Fixed incorrect capitalization of "SpaceChem". Whoops!

In the tradition of the Dunny I bring you the Funndy! It's flat which makes it far easier to decorate than a curved Dunny. It also has a hole in the back for either a magnet or a jeweler's pin.

If you don't have a 3D printer and want a Funndy you can buy one in my Etsy shop here: etsy.com/listing/150555795/funndy

Lets you keep your scissors on your fridge. The one that came with the scissors broke, so I did what most people on this site would do... created my own.

Old hard drives.
lots of magnets.
Sick of stuff on top of the fridge.

This model inspired by [Magnetic Bit Holder - Parametrized by Nudel_P](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2443).
I made it double-side and add customized inscription.

##Customizable options:
- Number of slots on one side.
- Inscription.

I modified the model to add a ridge around the outside. I also added a hole on the back to accommodate a 1x8mm cylander magnet.

This is a magnet holder for magnetic bead separation for either a 96 well plate - or a 96 well plate with the wells cut out can be taped on top to hold 8 tube strips. Here are the magnets: kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=BZ082. I added a struts design that can be printed and used to hold the tops of the magnets in place while the epoxy sets. Make sure they are not in contact with the epoxy while it sets! I also added a version that holds the magnets a little more snugly that helps with setting the magnets.

NOTE: The first prototypes pull beads ~25-30% slower than commercial versions - also they require more care when removing the super. This I believe is due to the depth of the magnets and I am working up a new model that uses different sized magnets that may work better.

Also if you are a grad student and are trying to convince your PI to buy a 3D printer - making just two of these will pay for the printer. These things are ridiculously overpriced.

This is an 8 tube magnetic rack for 1.5mL tubes. These things are insanely overpriced and are a perfect thing to 3D print - the major cost is the magnets which are ~70 cents a piece. This design has little arm things that hold your tubes in place snugly and can even hold them in when upside down. I recommend using these magnets: kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=B824 and using some epoxy to glue the magnets in. The easiest way to glue them in is to glue an outer one first, then put a tube in to hold it in place, then do the same to the third position tube, then the second one can be glued in since it will have equal magnetism to the left and right. Repeat for the rest of the rack. This design is optimized to use less plastic and prevent warping during printing, though I still recommend printing a raft just so it gets started easier.

I updated this model with a different base (it now has more room for you to look at the beads when pipetting) and also a version where the tube grabbers are printed without an overhang as per suggestion in comments.

Also if you are a grad student and are trying to convince your PI to buy a 3D printer - making just a few of these more than pays for the printer itsself!

A simple holder for my caliper. Mine is relatively small. You should be able to scale the design to your needs.

Insert a strong neodymium magnet ( mine are 12 x 2 mm), and stick it to your whiteboard. The magnet of this size is strong enough to attach the part to this whiteboard, however, it rests on the lower border. Use a larger magnet if you want it to be able to stick in the middle of the board

I'm going to call this an "educational" brushless motor because last time I checked PLA isn't ferrous (I can haz magnetic domains?), the rotor is using flat magnets (I can haz more flux?), and the rotor should be 1 angstrom away from the stator but... its not.

Here is a video of me only firing one commutation state: youtube.com/watch?v=nbubtBy1UJg

You can print all these parts without supports.

Holds your earbud cords (and if strong enough) your earbuds.

Work in progress, still not fully tested.

Includes OpenSCAD file so it can be adjusted to your needs.

The Low Fi Hi Tech headphones is a research Project to find out a way to create a fully functional pair of audio headphones without any manufactured part, this means all the parts of this headset are raw materials, such as wire, tape, solder, magnets and of course 3D printed parts.
The most challenging part was to make the right combination of 3D printed elements such as the speaker piece, the ear part had to be a good acoustic case and should to include a holder for the magnet, the speaker itself is a very thin printed part with a very thin rail to be able to insert the copper wire in it.
Once I got that part working, I decided to go further, drawing the plug to fit a standard Jack connector, this was a very tricky part because the model of this was a very thin part to print and creating the connections only with wire was a real challenge. Again it worked! And even if many people would hesitate to plug this weird looking but familiar plug, I can assure you it works with no risks on jamming inside your portable audio device.

Anyway, the sound quality is very nice against all expectations but will necessitate a power amplifier to be louder when using only portable sources like pods or phones.

The files are open to anyone who want’s to try to make a pair of these!

Special thanks to Martin De Bie, Hannah Perner Wilson, Jean Baptiste Labrune whose work inspired me a lot in this particular Project.

Use this post with a 5-pack of Round Ceramic Magnets from Radio Shack (model #64-1888) to demonstrate some basic principles of magnetism.

Stick artwork to the front of your refrigerator, or any other magnetic metal surface. These have tapered sides so you can easily angle and remove them.

Customizable box that uses magnets as a hinge and to keep it closed. You can customize the size of the box, and the size of the cylindrical magnets to use.

The attached STL files are designed to use 2mm (diameter) x 3mm (height) magnets.

A customizable magnetic clip. I use it to close bread bags.

This was designed as a spice jar you could fill with your favorite spice and stick on your refrigerator. In addition to setting the size and tilt, the customizer lets you add holes for magnets, add a label to the jar or lid, or add holes in the lid to use it as a salt/pepper shaker.

This uses the same twist on lid mechanism as thingiverse.com/thing:56910

If you've lost the magnet holder for your bike computer, this can fill in.
It's also lighter than some of the magnets that come with comps, so you may like it for that reason too.

A printable Remote Mine prop with blinking lights, a beeper, and a magnetic back!

If you grew up in the 90's, you've played Goldeneye, and if you've played Goldeneye you should recognize this classic weapon!

After creating a tutorial on Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/Goldeneye-007-Remote-Mine-Prop/)
On how to make a Remote Mine using an old joystick base, I decided that I would model one up so others could print their own. The problem with my instrucable is it requires you to find a "PC Commander" Joystick from the 90's to use as the Remote Mine's body. It took me about a month to track one down, and they get more rare every year. So now that this ancient component is nearly extinct I wanted to make sure everyone could still make their own remote mine prop.

With a few components and some patience you too can make your very own remote mine prop, chock full of blinking lights and beeping sounds!

I have some small strong magnets (like these: crazy-magnet.de/en/products/3::25/10x-disc-magnet-%C3%98-6-x-2-mm-nickel-plated-strength-ca.-680-g) that are much better in holding paper on a white board than conventional magnets. Their disadvantage is, that they are too small to grip them when they stick to the white board. So I designed a knob for them.

Customizable case for carrying cylindrical batteries. Requires small cylindrical magnets to hold the case closed.

For a version that doesn't require magnets, check out:

Fuel canister tray to keep isobutane blend canisters working in cold weather. Fill the tray with water when in use, this should keep the canister warm enough to vaporize the isobutane as long as the water doesn't freeze.

If you've tried to use gas canisters in the cold, you've probably noticed that they don't work well. This is usually because the fuel is too cold to vaporize. This problem gets worse as the canister is used (the vaporization cools the canister) and as the fuel level gets low (there may be less propane in the mix.

The tray also works well to hold the canister in place when packed inside a pot of similar diameter. The raised feet help with stability on rocky surfaces.

Take a look at adventuresinstoving.blogspot.com/2011/11/practical-cold-weather-gas-tips.html and the related articles for more info on using canister stoves in cold weather.

This is a thing that makes use of 6x Neodymium Csunk ring magnets to levitate a chopstick.
Just something to pass a boring day!

**UPDATE***
It looks like I had the wrong template uploaded, which didn't have the proper spacing at the bottom of the strip. I have uploaded the proper version.

I've made a few magnetic knife strips using strips of wood and neodymium magnets, but I really hate laying out the holes for the magnets. This template is intended to make the layout quick and easy. I have provided instructions for making a magnetic knife strip using this template.

Keep your card-reader close to your bot with this little magnet-mounted holder.

Print your own letter magnets for the kiddos to spell with.

Customizable magnetic case for holding lens filters or other similarly shaped objects. The magnets work as a hinge, and to hold the case closed. If the cases are the same size, they will also stack nicely, with the magnets holding them together..

A remix of Areeve20's "Sharpie Cap Screwdriver", Bulked out a bit, and added a slot where a small magnet can be mounted.
I printed this remix with a Makerbot 2 so I redesigned some components to work more smoothly with this 3d printer in particular. (I ran it at 1.2mm resolution)

My co-workers wanted a way to mark the food in the shared fridge with our name and date without having to permanently mark our containers (otherwise food would be forgotten/wasted). The sticky notes and pens were out of sight and out of mind so I created this to stick onto the fridge.
This thing has 3 holes in the back to fit the magnets I had spares of, about 4mm dia. and 3mm deep, but you might have different magents.
The holder can fit either the 3in. or 2in pads, the slot cut in the center allows easy access to the smaller pads. The pen hole was actually measured to fit up to a standard Sharpie marker.
