Reply to "3D Printed Chuff Magnet Cam - NICE!!"

My Deans plug hanger for one of my Decs, just something simple to keep my aux tethers from dragging (I use these sometimes for aux power pickup where I don’t want to mess with the original tether, this one is actually for driver mounted magnets/reed switch). The first one I tried was a dud so I laid the doodle (I won’t dare to call these ‘designs’ yet) out along the Y axis for more vertical strength along the hanger. Pic below for comparison. I also played around with the box dimensions to hold the plug nice and snug. It’s easy to gusset objects in Tinkercad for stiffness. This was nice way to see what I could get away with structurally/dimensionally. Once painted it won’t look any worse than the old IR tether boxes imo.

Here is an improved Kadee fork that fits between the rails for more positive placement. Instead of trying to make a handle I made a socket so I could plug in a dowel. I need to make a slimmer version as this one won’t fit in between some cars. Maybe I’ll use some rectangular magnets. This also proved to me I need to pay more attention to my Kadee whiskers as some of the shorter ones don’t pull to the magnets.

I may do this again, with the part laid on its back so I can orient the print layers vertically in the finished part. I cracked one of the legs when I inserted the magnet but was able to CA it.

This thing makes cool music btw:
