**This is designed for a normal caliper. If you need a model for a larger, heavier caliper, check my profile, I also made one of those as well**

The caliper has a medium to strong magnetic attraction. It won't easily fall off the holder if it's bumped into.

I added two rectangular slots on the bottom of the base to superglue magnets into.
(I added a lot of superglue for the base layer, inserted each magnet (minding that the magnets polarity is correct - you don't want one magnet attracting and one repelling) then let it dry for 30 minutes. Next, run another bead of superglue around the seams of the magnets to help them lock in place. Let dry for 24 hours)

The magnets I used measure 60mm long x 10mm wide x 3mm deep.

Since my caliper is made of metal and naturally attracts towards the magnets, I decided to remove the upper rim from the "shelfs" to allow for an easier time lifting my calipers in and out of the holder.
Also, the holder doesn't move when the calipers are removed or replaced :)
