IPV v2 Magnet Mod

[Alex]

A nice IPV magnet mod I found for someone to try?

You'll need some 1/8 x 1/16 magnets. You only need 4, but it came in a pack of 50, so I have refrigerator magnets for the rest of my life. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/104800001X

Metric, because imperial is confusing.

IPV hole is just a hair too small.

Drill press makes life easier, but you could do it without. The drill bit I used was 3.15mm, but my press has a slight wobble to it so it probably ended up at 3.22 or so.

Drill that shit. Don't look back.

Test fit inside.

Test fit outside.

Mark your magnets so you know which way they grab on to each other. Last thing you want to do is glue them in place and have them repel.

Cover everything you care about because metal shavings will go everywhere.

No turning back now.

If you were advanced you could set the depth... I was not advanced, so the lower hole was not quite deep enough.

2-part epoxy. 5-min harden, 2-hour cure, 12-hour usable.
mce-anchor

Add one part (I used way too much)

Add the other and mix that shit up. A screw works well as a mixer.

Put some glue down, then force in the magnet. Don't put the magnet in without the glue or else you'll never get it back out.

Lower side.

It's not quite long enough but it works.
mce-anchor

Good on top.
mce-anchor

Not so much on the bottom. I didn't drill the hole deep enough.
mce-anchor

Cover that shit up again, metal shaving are about to go everywhere.

Mr. Bench Grinder will fix all my problems.

Grind it down till it fits well.

Obligatory vape pic.

Haha.... Love the "obligatory vape pic"

 

[Silver]

Lol, thought it was you @Alex
Then I thought, but that is strange, you don't use an IPV and your wife doesn't vape.
I was confused.

Then I saw it was Pizza the Hutt.

LOL -

Don't know why these guys don't use magnets in the first place?

I would love to do this but sourcing these magnets in Durban is near impossible, currently my V2 has prestik on the back for over a month and its working like magnets xD the heat doesn't effect the prestik so its a pretty easy Ghetto mod.

i replaced thetiny countersink Phillips screws on my cana-hana with Allens - not countersinks, they stick out slightly but no problem. Much better. M2.
