r/Magnets

I'm making a prototype magnetic tool holder, I've got a bunch of rectangular N52 magnets that sit next to each other and provide a good amount of pull. The issue is because there's a bunch of magnets, the things I put on the holder seem to want to stick to one magnet or another and click between the magnets, rather than sliding smoothly across the surface.

My question: If I put a weaker fridge magnet style sheet on top, like in the model above, would it retain its strength and unify the field of the magnets?

Please let me know if you need any clarification.

I had a corporate event several years ago and bought a bunch of zen magnets. I was just clearing out my storage unit and found a tote of 120 unopened boxes of the triumph set. Does anyone know the best way to go about selling these? If anyone is interested in buying some, let me know.

I wouldn’t recommend doing this with your own electronics, it’s bad for them.

It still worked afterwards, the camera and screen seemed fine. Not sure about the rest of the inside though

I am in Shapr3D and I need to create a magnetic hinge that will allow these two rectangles to come together at 90 degrees like this and also be able to freely rotate and be set on a table or floor anywhere between 90 and 180 degrees. They will be sitting on the ground so gravity can do most of the work. I have a round magnet that I plan to put in that circular recess you see and that will help it rotate without stops, but my hinges are whack. I'm looking for a pretty, elegant way to hinge these that looks designed and not lopped on. My two bad ideas are in the photos. Can anyone help with a better solution? RAISE 3D PRO printer, can use PLA, ABD PETG, whatever speeds and temps works best. Item is about 8mm tall.

What do you think?

I inserted magnets into this action figure peg hole hoping it would magnetize another part. Sadly it won’t work. Now I can’t get the magnets off. There’s like 3 pcs 3x2 magnets inside coz I tried getting it out through magnetization but they just clumped up. I tried using 4x4 and 5x3 magnets but they won’t pull it out. It’s just stuck, no glue. Tried pushing it out the other way but the back is too thick.

Is there any way I can still get these magnets out? I really need y’all help.

Thank you 🙏🏿

Wanted to share a clean mounting mechanism I've been working on for costume emblems and signage.

This is a 10.5” x 8.5” Silver Age Superman chest emblem. It's built entirely by hand using layered genuine leather, hand-dyed for that old-world finish. To avoid using messy pins, snaps, or velcro that bunch up or ruin the suit fabric, I inlaid a 6-point N35 magnetic backing system directly into the leather layers. It gives a really heavy, secure snap pull that sits flush against a suit canvas or a steel display grid without breaking the silhouette. Let me know what you guys think!

the magnets are stuck in either side and they are unable to be removed I tried to get either one out and flip it to no luck.

When you press them together it pops back apart I can just bounce the one half on the other.

It’s just been sitting on my desk in climate controlled space nothing happened to it have no idea why it happened

I saw this installation at the Whitney museum. Does anyone know where the magnet is from?
