So, found out the hard way that you can’t apply heat to neodymium magnets. Had 16 magnets to press into a print (tool holder). Thought since the soldering pen I use for inserting threaded nuts into prints works so well, I would use it for this too. And it did work well, but now all the magnets are not magnets any more. Yup, heat will demagnetize them. Part is useless, so had to trash it. Found out something new, but wish I had heard about this beforehand.

    My magnets pull towards the printbed when i put them in.

    But i also only cover them with a single .2 layer so they keep their strength.

      Of course, if they’re on the bottom of the print.
