hexagon shaped magnet mounts #177

Hi there, first off, thanks for this great project! I use it happily in my voron since day one. Love it ❤️ !

Yesterday i had the second case of a magnet falling out of the AB/SB mount v3. The first time I allready tried more glue which makes creating a reliable electrical connectio not easier :) But the magnet fell out yesterday after some month of printing nevertheless.

i can not remember where, but i once saw hexagon shaped magnet mounts in another project. These provide a really good mechanical clamp force. I made some smaller PoC prints and i guess you wont need any glue at all with this design. And if you want some extra security you get some good "pockets" around the magnet to fill in some glue.

Do you ever thought about this? Is there an argument against this design? If there is not reason against this design i would give it a try. Are you interested in the results? Cheers

Printed a first functional prototype: First impression is that these magnet wont go anywhere. And i did not use any glue. I will give feedback when these parts ran through some heat cycles the next weeks.

Attached the part for AB/SB mounting and the classic small klicky prope with hexagon shaped holes for the magnet: KlickyProbe_v2_v60_hexagon_poc_klickyprobe_and_AB-SB mount v3.zip

Just as a follow up; This never failed me since my implementation (without any glue) but i guess with klickyng this idea is obsolete anyways :D
