Fake screw for Geocaching

thingiverse

This is a fake screw which can be used as a logbook container for Geocaching. In the nut, there is a pocket which can hold a circular magnet (1cm diameter, 2mm thick) if you put the magnet during printing (if you print with 0.2mm layers, you can make a pause after the 14th layer to add the magnet in the pocket). Then, the magnet will be trapped, and you will not need any glue to make your cache magnetic. UPDATE: I now own an Alfawise U20, and the head is in a metal cage, so the magnet is attracted by it if you make the pause before the hole is recovered. The solution is to make the pause after the first layer which fills the hole, and force the magnet through the layer (as there is only one layer, it is not too difficult). Then the magnet stays trapped. Plus, the screw is not wide enough to stay in place int the nut when I print it with the alfawise, but it is ok if you scale it to 101%.
