Where should I put my magnets?

[owen14]

I have both an xg3 v1 and 2. Been doing a lot of research on where to put them but curious what you all have to think. I know I want the v2 in my left hand for lifting and the v1 in my right hand for sensing. I do not want any of them In my finger tips. Where should I put them and why?

I dont have any magnets so I wont attemt to answer you, However what places did you narrow it down to?

Did you use this for some inspiration?

I did get decent sensing when I had my xG3v2 in L1.

Nothing crazy, but I could certainly feel some power bricks and a low power microwave.

Not a suggestion, simply sharing my minimal experience. I only had the magnet there for a few months.

May I ask why you removed it?

[Not]

Short version: I broke it.

Long version:

xG3v2 Removal / Break

I’ll preface this with a link to where this story started. I suggest you get some background context there if you haven’t followed along already. As you can guess by the topic name, the xG3v2 I have in L1 did pop open. This is likely due to me clumsily banging my hand into a doorframe when walking into my home office.

Hmm I wonder if I put it in the same spot if doing CPR would cause it to break

[Not]

I doubt it, as you’re squishing your hand between a squishy person and a squishy hand, while having it protected between two metacarpals.

But: I’m not going to claim 0%.

Mine broke either when getting slammed on a doorframe inside, or possibly even earlier when I did something similar to my car door. I’m not sure, but I am very confident that it broke due to impact with hard-sharpish-metalic-object.

Okay perfect. I have a next in P0 and have done CPR with that in with little issue besides it moving around a bit.
