Magnetic Puck Holster for Steampunk Space Gun

thingiverse

Ack, my first submission. I designed this little puck to house some ceramic magnets so that it could holster a prop steampunk gun for my son's Halloween costume. The puck fits into the circular part of the Steampunk Space Gun Prop (https://www.costumania.com/products/steampunk-gun). I had to cut and file down the little plastic piece in behind the circular part so that the 3/4" magnet (https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Magnetics-Dyna-Mite-Magnetic-Buttons/dp/B000EY72NK) fit. I also found that one magnet wasn't enough so I doubled up the count to two on both sides. The disc should fit snugly behind the magnets. I did a two step process for gluing the disc in place as I also glued it to the side of a belt clip I'd found here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:35940). I think in future versions I might play with making a half and half compartment so that it can have reverse polarities so that the gun can only point in a binary down or up position as the magnets line up.
