Magnet update
Added 2024-09-13 15:14:35 +0000 UTCHey guys from now on we are going to be switching to 10x2mm from 8x2mm magnet size. We had some feedback on our magnets and we belive that this extra surface area will help. You should still always hot glue elastic to your piece so you parts donβt hit the ground now.
That said some of our stuff coming out will be 8x2 and some will be 10x2 as we transition. Like usual read the corresponding posts for more information

The membership page will need updating too, it links to a 8mm listing

2024-09-17 05:21:18 +0000 UTCI use a paper towel holder and a small nerf football as my paint stand. The metal from the holder is easy to clean when there is a build up of paint and I get it all at dollar general for about $4

2024-09-13 20:31:16 +0000 UTCI think for most an increase in depth would do more good then surface area increase. Having more depth will increase the strength of the magnet

2024-09-13 20:28:30 +0000 UTCWith these I only use 50% of the magnet spot and the hold like crazy. https://a.co/d/4URsI0r

2024-09-13 18:05:23 +0000 UTCTryMag are only good for little things like DP eyes. Im burning the ones I have just on that. And since they are weaker its a bit easier to switch the eyes out.

2024-09-13 18:02:11 +0000 UTCThey've been OK for me. A few are chipped in the packaging, but I'm 600 deep so far π€·ββοΈ

2024-09-13 16:55:37 +0000 UTCHonestly not a fan of this change, 8x2 has become the standard magnet size across most STL vendors and it just means more money spent overall. I can still use 8mm in the 10mm holes but it wouldnβt look as good.

2024-09-13 16:36:12 +0000 UTCThanks for the link, found between my printing to densly and the trymag i got they dont work all that hot. Way too loose

2024-09-13 16:23:06 +0000 UTCDonβt use the brand Trymag not good magnets and sadly none of the sellers on amazing actually list them as N52 for any of them in the USA.

2024-09-13 15:56:54 +0000 UTCI'm in the UK and use a few different places depending on the quantity I need but all seem to be just as good. At typical consumer quantities I pay around Β£13 per 100 but have recently gambled on alibaba to buy a load in bulk at a third of this price as I'm churning out loads of your wolverine masks at the moment ππ ipl send the links to the websites I have used in the UK, but as long as they are listed as "N52 Neodymium (NdFeB)" magnets they should be the same strength

2024-09-13 15:56:06 +0000 UTCAny chance you can create a helmet stand to help when spray painting the helmets?
Giovanni
2024-09-13 15:47:31 +0000 UTCTrue I can print Inserts to make it look pro and the larger holes allow me to scale smaller so I guess that's good
Mikey
2024-09-13 15:42:19 +0000 UTCThat's fine. Can realistically still use 8mm in the larger holes. People just need to buy better magnets not the rubbish off Amazon. I only use about half the magnet slots anyway with the ones I've got otherwise I wouldn't be able to get stuff apart π

2024-09-13 15:41:40 +0000 UTCdo you have a link for the magnets you get?

2024-09-13 15:41:10 +0000 UTCdo you have a link for this?
Mitch Massey
2024-09-13 15:40:37 +0000 UTCJust get better magnets. (https://a.co/d/45EwIJI ). Making them bigger is a good idea, but the actual quality of the magnets also plays a big role. If they are bigger but weak its not much of a change since they will also add weight especially if the helmet has a lot of parts. Better magnets allow me to use only 50% of the magnet spots and I can look down and even headbang a little.
Christian Vargas
2024-09-13 15:40:37 +0000 UTCI've just been using 8*3 in most cases. But huzzah for bigger magnets

2024-09-13 15:39:48 +0000 UTCWith the n52 magnets I have I can't even pry the eyes off deadpool I actually needed to buy a weaker grade for those π
Ben Mehrtens
2024-09-13 15:35:13 +0000 UTCThe magnet holes will be bigger. You can still use 8x2
PokeTheBuilder
2024-09-13 15:34:33 +0000 UTCIf we have to deform the magnet slot then it will compromise the structure and might not hold anyway or we will have to use smaller magnets if we scale down which is what most people will have to do. So they wont be able to use 10mm again and complain further π

2024-09-13 15:31:39 +0000 UTCThe n52 hold like crazy. Deadpool coming girl for example snaps shut with a vengeance
Mikey
2024-09-13 15:29:42 +0000 UTCNo lol I just bought 2000 n52 8x2
Mikey
2024-09-13 15:28:39 +0000 UTCSame haha but its ok

2024-09-13 15:25:55 +0000 UTCDamn, I've just bought a tonne of 8x2mm magnets. Never had an issue, 8x2 was always perfect as long as you buy the correct grade magnet strength πͺ (N52). I suspect people may still have an issue even with the 10mm if they buy the same grade? π¬
Ben Mehrtens
2024-09-13 15:24:31 +0000 UTCI bought 1000π but i scale down so i will probably still use them
Marios Panayiotou
2024-09-13 15:20:57 +0000 UTCunfortunately no that would add a extra work for us. the best thing you can do is use a dermal to make the hole wider
Mitch Massey
2024-09-13 15:20:51 +0000 UTCyeah my deadpool(new movie version) i might have did too many walls as last one(previous version) cracked when dropped and if i shake my head it comes apart , can you adjust a few of the old favs , cause i would reprint with better magnets forsure.
Clint Ortner
2024-09-13 15:20:38 +0000 UTCOn one hand it's cool, because some multi parts prints are indeed quite weak (like the deadpool 3 for instance), on the other hand I wonder what I'm gonna do with the 200 8x2 magnets I bought for your STLs...
Fabien Pohl
2024-09-13 15:19:08 +0000 UTCWould you consider making the hole a bit bigger too? Like 11mm? Because most people will scale down (if its scaled to 24inches for 100%) that means it still wont he 10mm for us with less than 24inch heads

2024-09-13 15:18:42 +0000 UTCGreat idea!
