This is a magnetic orientation tool that assists in identifying the north and south poles of spare magnets. This was created to help with installing integral magnets correctly into 3D Prints so the finished parts attract each other as opposed to repelling. The code pauses at line 20 for you to insert the magnet. When you first do this, orientation does not matter. Just place the magnet in which ever orientation you want. Once the print finishes then you will have your relative 'North/South' from this tool. If you print multiple of these just make sure they are all in the same direction. I found that the easiest way was to place the magnets on the ‘North’ side and then mark the tops of the magnets with a permanent marker. The sides without the marking would be the South side. Boost MeThanks for looking and happy printing!
