1 Printing
Wise advice
3D printed parts: if you don’t have a 3D printer you can produce the pieces in your local FabLab or order them online
1.1. Printing
After downloading the files (3D print section above), print the pieces with the following printing settings:
Nozzle: 0.4 mm
Material: PETG
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Infill-shaft: 70%
2 Overview
2.1. Components scheme
3 Preparation
3.1. Cutting the tube
Cut the tube into the given length, we recommend the use of a metal saw for a clean cut. Make sure to have a straight cut
Make sure to correct and refine the cut using sand paper and/or a file
4 Assembly
Warning
Make sure the glue stays on the outer side of the edge
It must not touch the magnet or its housing. Apply some pressure and let dry for at least 15min
Warning
Do not ever try to cut the magnet
High risk of implosion
4.1. #5 Assembly of the magnet ball joint
Place the magnet into the joint body
Apply carefully small amount of superglue (ideally gel) over the rim of the body
Carefully position the cap ontop of the body, pressing the pieces together to ensure proper bonding
Slide the o-rings onto the upper and bottom slots (incase more friction is needed use a 3rd one in the middle slot)
Repeat the operation for the second magnet ball joint
Warning
Is the magnet free?
Shake the magnet-ball joint and make sure that the magnet is free inside. If it is stuck improvise to free it (i.e. with a thin pencil through the body bottom)
If it does not work try to gently remove the cap and repeat the operation
4.2. Assembly of the magnet ball joint
Warning
Do not ever try to cut the magnet
High risk of implosion
Wise advice
Make sure the glue stays on the outer side of the edge
It must not touch the magnet or its housing. Apply some pressure and let dry for at least 15min
4.3. Magnetic sphere joint
Place the magnet into the body
Apply carefully small amount of superglue (ideally gel) over the rim of the body
Carefully position the cap on top of the body, pressing the pieces together to ensure proper bonding
Warning
Is the magnet free?
Shake the magnet-ball joint and make sure that the magnet is free inside. If it is stuck improvise to free it (i.e. with a thin pencil through the body bottom)
If it does not work try to gently remove the cap and repeat the operation
4.4. Magnetic sphere joint
4.5. Wall mounting
Mark with a pencil the desired position of the knob.
Drill a hole with a wall bit of 8mm.
Hammer the raw plug fully into the hole.
4.6. Wall mounting
Pass the wall screw trough the printed screw and screw it in place with a screwdriver.
Manually tighten the ball mount to the 3d printed screw.
