Operation Magnetize Chimpo

Dearest companions of craft and council,

I come before thee with a question most curious. My hand doth yearn for a magnet to be set within the P1 location. Not for the mystical sense-gathering that many pursue, but for the simple boon of having my small metal trinkets cling close whilst I toil — a pen, a scatter of screws, perchance even a wayward stick of underwater wood-weld.

Yet I stand in doubt, for many versions of such enchanted stones lie before me, and I know not which to choose. Strength above all is my desire, that the magnet hold firm, but I seek not so mighty a pull that it crushes flesh or drags what should remain still.

Other matters weigh upon my mind. The manner of insertion, for it shall be performed by an apprentice, and so the ease of method must be considered, lest mishap mar the work. The size and shape, too — be it disc, rod, or bar — for each has its virtues and its perils, both in comfort and in the way it dwells beneath the skin. The distance from other implants is no small concern, nor from the coin of payment, for I would not have my daily dealings undone by a wayward field of force.

Thus I beseech thee, wise guildfolk: which path would you counsel me to tread? What form and what placement shall serve best the humble craftsman who wishes only that his tools remain at hand?

Ever thine in inquiry, - yes thats Amal’s hand,

Hark! Did thine eyes bear witness to the trial of Sir Trusted, the King’s own noble right hand?

Alas, it seems my own counsel has reached its limit, for I hold no knowledge of these magical stones of which you speak. My answers, though noble in intent, do not serve your current quest.

And upon yours, fair user! May your path be clear and your burdens light. Farewell for now.

Anyone that wants to hold anything of significant weight or mass to their body (like tools, not small screws or piercing needles etc.) should consider the arm where there is more body fat and less thin skin. The fat will help cushion the force and reduce potential for small blood vessel damage.

We can now make anything you want so if you find a big flat magnet of sufficient strength to hold whatever it is you intend to hold (use proper testing methods to determine requirements) we can encapsulate it for you.

Also the hand is no place for the unpracticed to be poking around in.. even regular surgeons will refer out hand surgery to a specialist. Too many sensitive structures in there to risk it.

Would just above the wrist be a good spot?
It’s a big flat area, so maybe a big flat disk could work(?)
I know some people have their flex implants there.

That could work if you don’t wear watches

I have an idea… :wink:

So the new M04280bar has just been released. So I decided to get out the calipers and size check it. I love the idea of being able to install a magnet using the g4 applicator when that comes out. But As you can see. 28mm is half the size my masculine yet petite hand.

After speaking to donfire. I have learnt one can not simply chop a magnet in half and then resin coat it…

So I’m curious if dt will be doing a m0414… we have spent this morning looking at magnets

My only caveat is will a cube sit comfortably in the hand compared to a rod. And how will this affect preformance

We can do other magnets of course.. and honestly.. yes we can chop one of our bar magnets in half and coat that for you as a custom project. I would rather do that to one of our N52 bar magnets vs encapsulating an N50 magnet. Weak.

Thats amazing news. I’m gona run an experiment this week where I’ll order a cheapo magnet of a simular dimention. And attach it to my hand in p1 via a bandaid(we call them plasters). Then I’ll see how useful it is befor I jump on the hype train.

Could I be so bold and request a magnet to be chopped in half and tested like the other models. To gauge it preformance.

Just ordered 3mmx3mm n52 rod magnets. Hopefully 4 of these will make a 12mm x 3mm magnets. That should fit nicely under a bandaid Should be here in 3 days…

Accidentally broke a bar magnet.. can shave it down though.

We also have these ~5mm cubes..

Just order the regular bar magnet and put the notes you want Lil Stubby here instead.

Experiment time!

So I decided to stick a magnet to my hand using g a plaster for a week to check if I actually want a magnet or if just getting caught up in a hype train.

What in have here are just 4 n52 3x3mm magnets. They will be attached to p1 via the adhesive strip of a bandaid

What is to follow will be me going “look it picks up this…” in every increasing sizes.

Ahh now I understand the difference between axial and dimetric magnets in terms of what they do and where the “lifting surfaces” are…

After spending agggessss looking for both axial and diametric cube magnets online to play with i realised why I couldn’t find either….

So I’ve ordered a few simple 5mm cube magnets (n48). I’m gona give that hallbach array a go. And compair it to a axial and diametrically array for comparison.

And to ease any concerns.. I’ll cad up a jig to assemble and smush the magnetic array togeather as I glue it or load it into some sort of flimsy case that can shatter into a million sharp little peaces. For science!
