FISKBO Magnetic latch for LACK enclosure

Some prints for magnetic attachment of IKEA's FISKBO frames to an enclosure made of IKEA's LACK tables.

Printing:

• Most parts can be printed with no to little support. 
• Choose one of the holes with one of the plug designs and print 4 of each for each FISKBO frame.
• Also print a drill template to help you align the holes properly. Measures are for the 50x70 FISKBO frame.

Note: If you choose a plug design with a corner, make sure to mirror half of them in the slicer

Additional Materials

• 3x12mm screws (+ screwdriver)
• magnets (round, 8mm diameter, 3mm thick, 16 per frame)
• 2cm forstner drill bit (or similar tool)

Important Note: 

Everything should fit nicely, assuming the Distance between the two tabletops is 70cm for everything to fit. If your enclosure has different measurements, make sure to accomodate for that. Even if you have exactly 70cm, please still make sure that the plugs on the frame will fit, before drilling

Assembly:

Holes:

• Hold the drill template flush against the tabletop as displayed in the image and mark the holes. Make sure it is aligned properly to have the holes in the right place. 
• Drill a 2cm hole in the center. The other marks can be used to predrill for the screws.
• Note: You will need to drill deep enough for the printed part to fit completely. The holes of two sides of a leg will probably intersect, but that's fine.
• Place magnets in the compartment on the back of the printed hole parts. See section “Magnets” for hints on polarity. 
• If needed, seal with hotglue.
• Fasten printed part with two 3x12mm screws

Plugs: 

• Can be printed in PLA or Flex Filament (Flex Filament feels less scratchy and more dampening when attaching it to the enclosure)
• Place 2 magnets in the plug. CHECK POLARITY! (see image on top)
• Align the plug with the edges of the frame as seen in the image
• Screw them in place with some 3x12mm screws. 
• Pre-drilling holes is not necessary, though it may helps get nicer results.
• If you chose a “Corner” design, the plug will be correctly aligned, if the corner sits flush against the inner corner of the frame. 
• for the A-Plug design make sure one edge is aligned with the inner edge of the frame (as the corner would)

Corners:

• The Corners were designed to hold the panel better in place, and thus reduce noise when shaking. 
• Apply some foam tape both to the inside of the frame, as well as the bottom of the corner, so it grips the panel tightly.
• Remember to mirror half of the corners in the slicer

B-Corner (2-Part): 

• The Corner part can be printed in PLA 
• The FlexPlug is supposed to be printed in flexible filament 
• Both parts can be printed without support
• To install it into the C-corner, bend the flaps of the plug by 90 degrees down and push them into the hole from the top, then bend them back underneath. Then screw the corner to the frame.

C-Corner: 

• can be printed completely in PLA. 
• needs supports for printing
• maybe printing it vertically can reduce the amount of support needed (untested)

Magnet Hints: 

• Use a cross pattern (see image on top), so opposing corners have the same polarity. 
• Be consistent with the polarity if you install frames on multiple sides, so they can be used on all sides
• Changing the magnets in the plugs is easier than in the holes (especially when hotglued). Think twice, glue once ;)
• Be careful when handling neodymium magnets smashing them together might damage them and cause injury.
