Revised Hook and Loop decoupler for LGB

This is my old Hook and Loop decoupler, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1000218, but saved as Stp.
Please view the thingyverse entry for more details..

The design is OK, but most of the tiny linear servos servo are only capable of about 0.3 newtons for reliable operation. Unfortunately the decoupler slide needs about three times this to disengage the Magnetic coupling used to provide the "spring up" (and centering) for the hook.
Careful tweaking of the magnets can make the design workable, but I have moved to my Knuckle coupling .

I provide this file for anyone who can improve the design!. Please let me know if you succeed!
