Remix of Gyrobot Lame Handle by jaln

Last crawled date: 2 years, 10 months ago

This is a substitute handle (body & handle) for the great design by Gyrobot. A bit more ergonomic and adds a magnet to hang on a steel surface.
Safety cover is the same as original at:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:40487/files, Safety_Guard.stl
Magnet is from Home Depot: (Super Magnets #07090), .375 dia. (9.5mm) x .06 thk. (1.5mm) x .125 id (3.2mm).
Used cheap superglue from for attaching magnet--preferably with controllable flow.
Use baking soda to enhance bond.
Make sure magnet is clean using an alcohol wipe. A bit of sandpaper scratching on gluing side will help, or with little finger or Q-tip, add a THIN layer of baking soda inside cavity of the magnet; insert magnet; fill center hole with baking soda; wipe off excess baking soda; apply drop of superglue (CA) to center hole and quickly wipe off excess with damp towel.
For dishwasher or water immersion you should use windshield quality superglue as the basic stuff is not waterproof. That means just light water cleaning around the magnet, with immediate drying.
