Shawn & Lara need a Toolbox... Droid?
#32
So, at ECCC 2023, someone reminded me that I'd considered magnets for the hubs. Not sure why I thought it'd fail, but the 1st evening of the con, I printed some 4x4 blocks with magnet holes and ordered some magnets.

Somehow, I had *way* too much support on the blocks, which took forever to clean off, but once done, they fit perfectly. They feel a tad loose, but are just about perfect to hold the hub.

Now it comes off and reattaches easily. A second instead of fumbling with it trying to make it stay. Huge improvement! Toolbox could still use some work, but this makes a huge difference!

No clue if it matters, but I made sure the magnets at both ends of the axle were facing the same way. The axle is steel, so the magnetic field should extend to the other side, though it probably doesn't really have much impact.

Each spot has three 15mm magnets 2mm thick. (Those were a size easy to get in the morning).

Toolbox Droid Hub Magnet
Replaced the hub shim stuff that didn't work with a plain old magnet.
