Magnetic Lock Modular Articulated Arm

Check out the new version!

The only external hardware required are 10x3 magnets, everything else is fully printed and just snaps in place.

Extremely easy to assemble, just print the parts, glue the magnets in their slots, and push the parts together. Once locked it can hold ridiculous amounts of weight along the vertical axis, and definitely enough for most applications on the horizontal axis if you use the 90° rotation piece.

Everything can be printed without supports except the 90° rotation pieces and the headphone stand, for those I suggest printing them in the same orientation as in the picture and painting a few cm of supports on the base just to keep them from falling over during the print.

Right now it comes with a simple base for m3 screws and a headphone stand but in the files you can find blanks for both the two hinge pieces and for the male push-in connector, should be quite easy to add whatever you need to those.

-Added a smaller headphone holder, requires less than half the filament needed for the bigger one and it's easier to print

-Added clamps in a remix

-Redesigned the connectors for the accessories, now they work on any of the four orientations and I switched the ‘male’ and ‘female’ side to make it easier to design and print attachments without running in various issues and overhangs.

-Added some .step files, let me know if you need a specific one.

-Added hinges with female connector for easily printable 90° rotations

-Added a small clip for cable management

--Added swivel connectors, print in place, rotates freely, you can put a piece of filament through the little hole to block rotation
