Ring Alarm Contact Sensor Magnet Mount (slimline)
Description
Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2nd Gen Slimline Mount (magnet). Solves the height discrepancy when you have a thick edge on your door that takes the magnet and sensor out of vertical alignment. *Printing advice:* Rotate the mesh on your print bed as illustrated so that you don't create overhanging surfaces or need supports. *Scaling* The mesh is sized to match the Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2nd Gen, with a recess cut into it for the magnet. *Install* The magnet is removable from the contact sensor with a flat screwdriver (per Ring's instructions. Once the case is opened, the magnet is easily extracted, and remains encased within a small plastic frame with locating tabs on it and a glue patch to the rear. The slimline mount includes a recess that matches this plastic casing, and will snap into place over both. The magnet is strong enough to be very generous regards position, and if you are able to match the orientation and aspect of the original unit, you will easily be within range. The glue patch pre-installed by Ring allows you to position the magnet fairly easily, and I found it most straightforward to insert the magnet and casing before removing the film and positioning. This design reduces the visual mass of the "plinth" solutions by building out the magnet to match the sensor whilst keeping the height of both to a minimum. Printed in PLA with 20% infill only weighs 2g. By using the original glue patches for both magnet and sensor, this should be no less durable than using it bare. Ideally, I'd have used a less translucent PLA, but this is what the printer had. Potentially, you could thicken up the edge that conceals the magnet to reduce any discolouration. Its worse in photos than it is in the flesh, mind.
