3 months ago Hi, thanks for creating the issue. That seems like a nice idea. Unfortunately, from what I've seen with simple round socket there won't be a default press fit size which would work for all or even the majority of users due to variable size of magnets and different calibration of different printers the result could easily vary +-0.1m or even more. I was wondering if having crush ribs or flexible ribs would allow for more tolerance but that would require quite a bit of experimentation with the design and then implementation
I've been trying to use this plugin to create my gridfinity system. But I don't want to use super glue, and wanted to press fit magnets instead.
Using standard 6x2mm magnets, at first I tried 6.05x2.05 cutouts, but that was too tight. Then I tried 6.1x2.1 and that seemed okay for base plates, I printed a ton with these cutouts, but when I tried to pressure fit it into a bin it was too tight, and now I have to start over with a bigger diameter.
I wish there had been an easy dropdown to select "pressure fit", "glue", "custom", "none", and have recommended defaults, other than for glueing.
I guess the tightness could vary big 3d printer and nozzle size? But it wouldn't hurt to have a better standard than just completely guessing.
