Simple triangle with magnets holds parallels on the lathe chuck for part alignment or in the milling vise. Keeps parallels from falling over while stock is setup.
Purchase eight 3mm thick by 8mm diameter round neodymium magnets.
Print the holders solid. To install the magnets, which are a press fit, use a vise. Place a magnet on the jaw and align the plastic hole with the magnet, gently press it in, adjusting position of the plastic part as you go.
Safe usage: If you are using these on the lathe - I suggest you take the parallels out after you tighten the chuck and before you turn on the lathe. I would not want to see them come out!
