This project took awhile to get right. The parts should print well, supports will be needed for the base and the magnet sorter base. There is a demo video linked below that also includes detailed assembly notes. You really should watch that to have success the first time with this build. Use the magnets linked to get working results. It's designed around their strength level. There is a magnet sorting tool provided to allow you to match up the ring magnets to get smooth operation. Fine tuning can be accomplished with the needle length. Start at 6mm. Adjusting length in 0.5 mm increments to achieve the desired stability. Yes, it's that sensitive.
Here's the video link, please watch it before attempting this build: https://youtu.be/-RGMrLz-3Gk
