Flyrail47 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm converting a velcro FOTK build into a magnetic one. I'm thinking about using rectangular magnets for the chest, back, and shins since I don't have the tools to drill holes for circular magnets.<br><br> In terms of long-term wear & tear, is there a significant difference between the strength of rectangular vs circular holes in ABS? <br><br> I'm thinking that, in both situations, the magnets will put stress on the seams of whatever hole they're in from moving etc.<br><br> If anyone has any advice or experience on the matter i'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejango[TK] Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) I would say that magnet attaching as a whole isn't very practical for larger areas like what you're talking about, especially if you're twisting and turning a lot which could separate the magnets without any stretching. If you must though, always go with round or circular cuts; rectangle/sharp edges on abs is always more likely to succum to cracking and breaking.
