I have also had this idea. Similar to Norm I have printed mine, but instead of using magnets I am using them with a cherry switch. I had my buddy print them up in resin.

I’m curious on how you intend to attach these to the axle Sid,….Pete has sent me some of his aluminum 4 lobe cams, and I have successfully drilled and tapped holes alongside the flats, and then split the cam in two along the horizontal…..allowing a bolt together operation for a permanent solution,….I’ve done this twice now,….I’m guessing your gonna use cement?….if so, I’d like to know what cement you plan on using??…I hate glue and all it stands for, but if you have a bonding agent that does that trick, I’m all ears,….😉
