After creating the original remix of the fabulous darren.meier AMS hub cable manager for X/P series you can find at this page that was using 6x2mm magnets many asked me personally for custom magnets sizes, so I decided to create this generator that will let you create your own organizer.
Since I only had different sizes of magnets at home, I decided to remix it for making it fix 6x2mm magnets.
I tried to import his model into Fusion 360, but since I'm not good enough, after spending a night over it I decided to take all the measures from the model and then recreating it from scratch - another long night, so little changes can be found, but the model is 100% compatible.
Subscribers to my Get to the source commercial membership can get access to the original .SCAD files and use OpenSCAD nightly builds to run them, if you don’t know how to do it, I wrote a full but simple step by step guide that you can find attached to this project.
These parameters all refer to the magnets you want to use.
| Parameter | Description | unit | min | max | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| magnets_model | Select the desired magnet type to use on the model, this list includes all rounded magnets and rectangular magnets available at BambuLab's Maker's Supply. | D6x2 mm round - CA004 | |||
| magnets_custom | Enable this to use custom magnets settings. | false | |||
| magnets_type | This parameter defines the shape of custom magnets and can be one of the following:
This parameter is used only if magnets_custom is set to true. | Round | |||
| magnets_diameter | If the magnets_type value is set to “Round” this defines the diameter of custom magnets, if this is set to “Rectangular” this defines the width of the custom rectangular magnets. This parameter is used only if magnets_custom is set to true. | millimeters | 1 | 30 | 6 |
| magnets_height | Defines the height of custom rectangular magnets. This parameter is used only if magnets_custom is set to true and the magnets_type value is set to “Round”. | millimeters | 1 | 30 | 5 |
| magnets_depth | Defines the depth of custom magnets. This parameter is used only if magnets_custom is set to true. | millimeters | 1 | 30 | 2 |
| magnets_rotation | Rotation of magnets in degrees. This parameter only applies to rectangular magnets. | degrees | -180° | 180° | 0° |
| magnets_depths | The depth of the magnets inside the board, use this setting if you want to embed your magnets into the board using a pause at layer. | millimeters | 0 | 3 | 0 |
| magnets_chamfer | The chamfer to be applied around the magnets. This parameter is only applied if magnets_depth is set to zero. | millimeters | 0 | 3 | 0.4 |
| magnets_tolerance | Magnets size tolerance, the hole will be a little wider to allow an easier introduction. Be warned: if you use to high values magnets will not stay in place and you will likely use some glue. | millimeters | 0 | 5 | 0.1 |
These parameters change the board.
| Parameter | Description | unit | min | max | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| board_depth | With this setting you can adjust the depth of the board. | millimeters | 5 | 20 | 7 |
| m3_mode | M3 screws hole mode. This parameter can be set to:
| Top of board | |||
| overall_rotate | Rotate the whole project to best fit your plate. | degrees | -180° | 180° | 0° |
These parameters change the way the project is rendered.
| Parameter | Description | default |
|---|---|---|
| render_quality | Choose the quality of generation of the objects, the higher quality the more memory/time generation will take. This value can be:
My advice is to find your settings for the whole object using Normal rendering, then switching to High quality or even higher when ready to export. | Normal |
| board_filament | Select a standard filament for the board.
Provided list is the list of Bambu Lab filaments with their correct color codes.
You can also set this parameter to Custom and select your custom color in the board_color parameter below. | Bambu Lab PLA Basic Jade White |
| board_color | Select a custom filament color for the board. This value is used only if the above board_filament parameter is set to Custom. | #FFFFFF |
After printing you'll have a smooth surface on the back, if you're thinking about using double-sided tape, you can leave supports and use it as is. If you use the magnets you will have to use a wire cutter to break through the bottom of supports and then remove them easily by twisting (took me less than a minute).
Before doing anything i suggest you to read the original model page, because everything is explained there much better that I could repeat.
The fast release AMS Hub PTFE Release Buttons you can see in my pictures are a model designed by YelTrik Designs available here.
