My own Magnetic Power Connector 1.0

3.5.19
After seeing ones available on the Astromech forum, I thought I'd have a go at designing my own as all I need is just power to the dome.

I searched up on eBay and found the magnets needed. I then drew up a few ideas, this is the first test piece.

I printed these off and when I got home, the magnets had arrived in the post. So I tested them out by fitting them into the recessed holes.

This was my first go and was happy it worked. I next thought about ensuring correct alignment & cable fitting etc.

I had a break/holiday over the summer and have restarted again with ideas. Some where a bit over the top and a bit to complicated lol.
