I'm very new to the 3D printing, I have a MK3s+ with Enclosure, I wanted to utilise two spools inside it and be able to swap between the two with out much effort, so I have remixed Will's PTFE tube connector and married it with the Filament sensor cover,
I have changed the magnet size to 5mmx3mm as it was easier to source, the magnets have 0.76kg pull each, (or so it says) which mean approx over 2kg to remove, so it shouldn't go anywhere, I've checked it on the full range of movement and it hasn't disconnected.
I printed with supports connector side down, 0.3mm layer, a bit fiddly cleaning up, post printing, but very happy with it,
Just an update, completed several prints now, and there is no issues with the holding power of the magnets, that was my only concern.
