Description

Dispense one magnet at a time, always in the same orientation, depending on the two magnets you insert in the base.
Tried to make it as compact as possible, with the chimney currently on there, it takes at least 50 magnets without the stack toppling during handling, extend the chimney if you want more capacity.
I did intend to try if a spiralling chimney (square internal profile to get a clean print without supports) would work for higher capacity in a small footprint, but didn't get around to it, yet. Maybe in the future. Or you go try :)

Requires two springs, e.g. from a pen. Diameter up to 5mm, they don't have to be exactly the same, if they come up short, gently pull them apart a bit.


Printing:
Everything can be printed without supports, the top part has to be printed with the top of the chimney sitting on the build plate. If you have reliable bed adhesion you can get away without printing a skirt for extra adhesion.

I printed everything in PLA+, if the snap-fits break on you, they are too loose a fit or you just don't like them, you can always simply glue the top and bottom part together. Just make sure everything is assembled and working before you do ;)
