Fridge Magnet Gear Spinner With Built-In Magnet
Description
Remixed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2583482 I loved the design and mesh of these gears, but I wanted something that didn't need glue or bearings that could come undone. I remixed the medium sized gear to have a free-spinning center piece where a magnet can be inserted mid-print. Tolerance of the inner part is .75mm. This was the sweet spot for my printer - able to print without binding, yet not too loose inside for my liking. Video of the magnets spinning: https://youtu.be/JzEt2P-PI2s I'm using two 15mm x 2mm neodymium magnets that I put in the center cavity once the walls are printed high enough. The cavity extends the height of the print, and is sized so that the magnets can freely move inside. This means that the gear will stick to the fridge on either side. Included a .stl of the center mechanism, which can probably be printed inside of the other gear models of the original thing. Also included my Fusion 360 project so that it can be further modified to resize, change the tolerance, or add back in the pegs if needed.
