ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Magnetising bases one at a time is fiddly, and getting the polarity wrong is worse — half your models cling to the transport tray and the other half slide off.

This jig fixes both. Drop a base into the matching recess and the jig's own magnet holds yours centred while the glue sets. The engraved N mark means every magnet goes in the same way round, so the whole force is consistent.

Eight recesses cover the sizes you actually use — 25, 28.5, 32, 40 and 50 mm round, plus 60×35, 75×42 and 90×52 mm oval. One flat plate, no moving parts, sits in a drawer.

  • Eight sizes in one plate — no swapping inserts
  • Engraved N polarity mark — every magnet the same way round
  • The jig magnet sits proud, not buried — your glued magnet snaps straight onto it and seats itself dead centre
  • Arrives printed and ready. No assembly, no glue, nothing to cut out
  • 214 × 149 × 5.5 mm, about 92 g
  • Designed and printed in Melbourne

Two options: the jig on its own, or the jig with the 8 × Ø8 × 2 mm magnets it needs. If you already have magnets in that size, take the jig alone.

The STL is free. Grab it from our site if you would rather print your own.
