DIY frag tray.

[KhensuRa]

Made a frag tray for Gabe, he asked for more holes to put plugs close together. I am trying to design a all in one frag tray with it's own magnets. If I am successful, I will make them to order, size wise for any one who would like one.

Not prettiest at this point, did the holes mostly by eye. The ones for sale will be way nicer.

I like it Virgil, good job bro! I want one

 

[Cherub]

wow thanks man! Looks nice

 

[tlsrcs]

How much for one?

 

[KhensuRa]

No idea yet, price will depend on the magnets I end up using. And of course size.

 

[tlsrcs]

They look sweet when you get it dialed in let us know

The magnets can get pricey

 

[Zooid]

yep, good magnets can be pricey
kjmagnetics is where I buy my magnets. If I could encase the magnets in acrylic the
DX-06 or the DX-06 N52 would be perfect for holding up frags. Those magnets can draw
blood if you aren't careful.

is something that strong totally needed?? I mean yes it would be cool to have some magnents that can lift your car but under water everything weighs considerably less. i bet you could get some decent ones on ebay....or i can take the risk i guess i could just pay you for one of the acrylic racks and ill be some cheapo magnents on ebay and see how much they can hold. And i will report back with a fail or pass lol

 

[KhensuRa]

I am going to look at hobby lobby today and see what they have. If not I will get some on ebay.

 

[tlsrcs]

yea i just looked briefly and there is some even free shipping. i think that is the best bet

I'll put it this way.....the Eshopps frag rack uses crappy magnets and it won't even hold itself up with 1/2" glass. My MP40 produced enough current to knock it off the wall and push it through the tank.
When I used those magnets in the link, my rack only moved when I moved it intentionally.

 

[tlsrcs]

hhmm yea i kind of forgot some of us have bullet proof glass........that is defi. something to consider when selectin magnets

 

[KhensuRa]

Gale what do you think of these?

Neodymium Magnets N45 1/2 inch x 1/8 inch

[KhensuRa]

From what I have been reading is you really have to look at the pull force of the magnet. And then est what it would be through thicker glass.

 

[tlsrcs]

hhmm yea i think the ceramic ones are only 2.1lbs
