D6 Magnetic Door Latch

A magnetic door latch for the Wanhou Duplicator 6. Internal component is mounted using doublesided tape.

When printing the external component, you will need to pause the print to insert the magnets at height 3.6mm, e.g. using the pause at height plugin in cura. Be careful that the magnets don't jump out again and attach to the print head! I had this issue, but I managed to solve it by manually pausing the print just before it would print over the magnets, and then inserting them.

Note - external component is asymmetrical internaly, so make sure you print it the right way up so you pause at the right height. I've included a direction indicator part to show which side should be up.
