Mag racks, finally!

You all sound experienced. I'm pretty new to the hobby. What is your source for neo magnets?

Found a store that sells nickel coated neodymium magnets for very cheap and I'm going to see about getting them encased in acrylic or something.

I need to order up some magnets soon, so if anybody wants to split some shipping...

I've fiddled with polyester resin casting and polymer clay for tank stuff recently, and neither was much of a joy to work with. I'll be trying out casting epoxy this weekend.

I couldn't get the magnet to have a thin enough area for the magnet to be as strong as possible so I made a well in acrylic just large enough for the magnet and filled that with resin. That way the bottom was as thin as I could get the CNC to do, well, 1/16" (by far not as thin as I could have gone :lol: )

If you use a Sonicare tooth brush you can salvage the super strong magnets out of the worn out brush heads and use them.
