PCB Holder with Magnets

thingiverse

Update: I added the single magnet design, that allows you to cluster around almost any board shape. You'll need two of course. I made it for .062 PCB material, but you can remix it and open the slots. I have made other PCB holders for assembly and used guide pins. They work ok, but the guide pins limit the board size. This one uses magnets so you can use a cheap piece of sheet steel and hold just about any PCB, until it flexes. The magnets also let you grasp the PCB board at odd angles. I used the same 15mm x 4mm magnets I used for my Tubing Cutter ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2570935 ) and the HF flashlight belt clip ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2617329 ). Magnet: https://www.ebay.com/itm/311833824652?var=610692315668 I made one that used thin flat magnets from old antennas, but the magnet pull was much better then the glue. This one uses 6-32 flatheads and they self tap. They're not coming out.
