Magnetic Clasp

I had some extra magnets and needed a clasp for a necklace I made. After a quick look I did not find anything so… I made this magnetic clasp for my own use. The clasp prints pretty quick and has a few overhangs on the interior to stop the magnet from going all the way to the bottom as well as to ensure the string does not pull back through after tied. Admittedly the inside had a bit of stringing due to the small overhangs but no issue, the string still went through and did not have any issues. I have tightened the tolerance for the magnets to fit more snug. A bit of superglue should be all that is needed to hold the magnet though hot glue can be used on the knot to further secure it.

 

This clasp used 2 8mmx2mm magnets. These came with my printer and can be gotten from the bamboo store.

 

Boost MeBoosts are greatly appreciated! We could all use some filament or a few dollars off a larger printer. Thank you!
