Magnetic Kill switch replacement cap - 3D print
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 2:59 pm
I decided I'd better carry a spare kill switch magnet cap in case the worst happens at an inopportune time.
$25 for a new one, or fire up the CAD, borrow a mate's 3D printer and bingo.

I tweaked the design a bit so a bootlace fits through the hole, avoiding the tiddly bit of string.
Also included a bead to tighten the lanyard on your wrist.
Common 10 x 5mm disc magnet (approx $1) slips in and just melt the lip to hold it.
I found melting the surfaces of the lanyard and squashing them together made a solid & neat join.
