Hi all!
I made this for my friend for Christmas, and thought you guys might dig it!
Long story short. I saw a similar design somewhere on the internet and wanted to make one for my friend. It it uses the POWER!!!! of magnets to lift the games, one at a time, for easy game-picking.
The magnets shouldn't be of any harm to the gamecards (Some guy on Reddit said so :) )
as they aren't a magnetized storagetype, like HDDs and floppy disks
I made who versions. One for a 608 type bearing (22mm OD, 8mm ID and 7mm thickness)
(Haven't tested the bearingless one yet)
Supports: All parts CAN be printed without support, but support is advised in the Bottom part, at the countersunk screwhole.
Materials: Plug should be done in PETG for improved flexibility (Haven't tested with PLA)
BEAWARE OF THE ORIENTAION OF THE MAGNETS !

The orientation of the magnets is SUPER important here!
The magnet in the middle should PUSH the magnets in the top part away and the ones on the side should PULL them.
You might be able to use just one or none of the side magnets, as they are mostly for making an “indexing” feeling for the gameholder. They might add more to the “pulling games down” than i am aware of.
Needed:
Press the two halves together and mount the screw.
The purpace of the screw is simply making sure it doesn't fall apart, and should NOT be tightened!
Hope you guys like it. It took me WAY more time designing this than i thought in the begging. If you have any feedback, feel free to post a make!
Happy printing and gaming!
