Geek Vape case with magnets for motorcycles

thingiverse

Geek Vape protective case with magnets for attaching to a motorcycle tank. The parts are glued together after printing. I used Bob Smith extra thick CA glue with Insta-set activator. I put a fairly thick layer of the glue over all the magnets after gluing them into the case. I recommend changing the polarity of the center magnets for maximum magnetic strength. Magnets are 12x3mm. The bottom is held in place with a silicone rubber band. I printed the main case with the top side down and supports touching the build-plate only. The bottom piece should be oriented to print with no supports running through the center. The other parts will print without supports if you orient them properly (should be obvious). Update: added a new version of the main case, tank guard, and bottom cover. The new version is more robust and eliminates the glue-on 'button' - the case is one-piece now. The bottom cover is improved by being one piece, as well, and also leaves the rubber band exposed so it can be easily removed and replaced. Update : added a magnetic mounting bracket that locks the device firmly in place, even on crappy NYC roads (Thanks, DiBlasio!) - this requires the same 12x3mm magnets used for the case. The magnets you see surrounding the mount in the picture are not needed - I just left the ones I already had there.
