Magnetic Bombers

@The-Captain
I used 3mm thumb nuts drilled out to fit 3mm acrylic rods. I used a number of 3d printed jigs for cutting the rods, assembly of the stands and gluing the magnets. If I remember later I’ll attached some pictures of the jigs/stands

I used to have an income tracker like this - but I’d love to see a whole game! :)

@Der:

Cool - go to the last page for latest downloads (7.0)!

Missed that. Thx.

I couldn’t find any magnets that thin. I just redid mine yesterday and had to use thicker ones. Good job Sired.

I don’t know if they have Home Depot in Canada, but that’s where I got it, if not, you can find it here :

It has bad reviews lol, but it works good, just don’t stick to anything. However the drop of super glue seems to work, as they have never fell off.

Thanks for the comment cyanight, all your magnetic mods are pretty amazing!

We do have Home Depot (all over the place here), but they don’t seem to carry Magnetic Tape.,… well, they do, but it’s this stuff : https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.12-x-10-magnetic-tape.1000418120.html?autoSuggest=pip which wouldn’t work as it’s a LOT thicker.

I HAVE however seen that stuff at Micheals Arts and Crafts. You’re right, it doesn’t stick well (or at all) so superglue is a must.

BAH!!! I was going to order them from https://www.litko.net/BMaker/ but if im going to custom order them I dont want to alter them. Especially if I go with something as clean as the Clear. I could go bigger… say match the size of the standard chips so they still stack nicely but i still think I will have the problem of them being top heavy in the end, especially since I want to have them 1.5" high and not just the one inch. I thnk Im going to hold out and try to snag up some 11mm dia 3mm thick steel blanks for a base. May take some time, but here’s to hoping

Ready to be placed on the board.

@dedo:

Oh, sorry, I didn’t know about that thread, eventually I lost my labour and waisted your time…

No problem.  There’s so much information scattered in so many threads on this board that it’s impossible to keep track of it all, so repeating a particular point of information can be very useful, especially to people who may have missed its first appearance elsewhere.  I just happened to remember the reference to the Beaufort because that information had been posted in response to a question I’d asked…and even then, I had to use the Search function to track down where I’d seen it because it was several months ago.
