Magnetic mounting

[RIMSKO]

First of all, a big thank you for a great product! The range is impressive it works great from our underground garage through concrete and steel up to the second floor apartment. Is it okay to scale up the height of the bottom part of the case when I print it and put two magnets under the battery or does it interfere or destroy the function?

Thank you for supporting my work, you can use magnets if you have not added a reed switch on the PCB. For case Step files are available "https://github.com/PricelessToolkit/MailBoxGuard/tree/main/3D/Step" You can modify them.

Thanks for the quick reply, I printed a back piece with an insert for 2 pcs 10x5 mm magnets, scaled up the height a bit, works perfectly.

Nice, i hope you will share it.

Made a new backpiece 5 mm higher than original and holder for 2 pcs. 10x5 mm magnets also made a "sensitivity limiter" as I have a large opening in my box so it was sometimes triggered when someone was near the opening. Tried to upload the files here if anyone is interested but was unable to upload the STL or STEP.

I made an Upload link for you, https://share.iot-dev.me/g/HRBoMCyYTmQZoyiq after I will put 3D files on GitHub.
Thanks

What size magnets are recommended for the magnetic case?

[PricelessToolkit]

10x5 mm magnets

Thanks!

I have made a new magnetic mount that is a bit slimmer. The magnet will be in direct contact with the metal, providing a much stronger attraction "MailBoxGuard_Full_Size_Back_433_868_915_Magnetic_Open_12x2mm.STL"
