Yes, the original marked steel plate.H2X wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 9:36 pmWhat's there for the magnet to cling to? The original DM42 faceplate?
Shame. Is it possible to get material with a stronger magnet? Or is the original plate not magnetic enough?
It depend how much in a hurry are you. I think it will be gluable.H2X wrote: ↑Sun Mar 15, 2020 11:33 pmShame. Is it possible to get material with a stronger magnet? Or is the original plate not magnetic enough?
For permanently repurposing DM42, gluing might be an option. Or maybe SM might be interested in embedding magnets or better magnetic material in future hardware versions to support magnetic plates?
Thicker magnetic sheets may cling better. This one is 0,3 mm thick, or then 0,3 mm thin. That does not leave a heap of magnetic mass on the sheet.
On the other hand, I rarely do my calculations in upside down, shaky environments.Jaymos wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 7:22 amThicker magnetic sheets may cling better. This one is 0,3 mm thick, or then 0,3 mm thin. That does not leave a heap of magnetic mass on the sheet.
For any add-on solution, 0.3 mm is probably the thickest you should go. To fit the little slots, also 0.3 mm is about the thickest you can go. 0.2 mm is probably better for the slots.
This is my first test with my new Cricut Maker machine:
Dang, that's close!
