3D Printing a Magnetic Refrigerator Hook

When you are forced by Estonian tourism officials to buy a lovely and aromatic juniper wood serving tray or cutting board as a souvenir of your visit, how will you hang it up? Like I do, by designing and 3D-printing a magnetic refrigerator hook.

Perfect use of "Friction"

[@EikiMartinson]

Hello and thank you!

[@Erhannis]

You can press-fit magnets like that - I have a dozen tiny magnet hooks hanging around my house; in 3d printing I dislike messing with resins or glues (or really any extraneous hardware) when I have basically any other option.

[@EikiMartinson]

Thanks for the tip! I'd don't love messing about with epoxy either. How much interference do you design for in that case?

[@Erhannis]

@@EikiMartinson Not sure how to measure that - I print a small test ring, then if it's too loose I reduce the size and try again. I think I only had to try a time or two with the magnet loops I have. As long as the ring is radially thick enough, there should be a range where you nearly need to hammer the magnets in, but where the rings don't break.

@@Erhannis Well, I did promise a sequel! Maybe I'll experiment with that too. Thanks!

Ah rubber.

Trading normal force for static coefficient of friction is sometimes a winner!
