Description
This is basically a magnetic token to help me keep count / tally.
It would be good for anything you might need it for. Works well as a fridge magnet as well or board game pieces.
Note: Price is for 10 tokens. Contact us if you would like more or multiple colours etc.
We can customise these by adding your own text or symbol onto one side, or both in some cases. Customisation may incur additional charges. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Why?
I needed something to help me count laps when I am swimming in the local pool (I keep loosing track).
I thought of many solutions, but decided to go with a token that I could move from one pocket to the other in my swim trucks.
I know the PLA would float, which is actually probably a good thing. But I also wanted better control over them in my pocket. So I decided to add a magnet to keep them together. I also fully enclosed it so they will stick together in my pocket.
I resolved to use a heptagon instead of a disk to make separating a little easier. All the corners are rounded to make the boundary motion smooth.
The magnet I used was a set I had already and it works perfectly.
The magnet dimension is 1.5mm thick, 6mm diameter rare earth metal. see here https://aussiemagnets.com.au/collections/rare-earth-neo/products/6mm-x-1-5mm-disc-rare-earth.
