mini neodymium magnets flipping polarity?
I have been successfully pausing prints to install mini magnets (8mm dia by 3mm deep).
In the first attempt, some of the magnets were opposing each other and so I thought I was not paying enough attention to correctly orientate them
On the second run, I made sure that they were correctly installed (or at least I think so) but to my dismay, some of then also flipped.
Please tell I am just losing it when doing basic assembly or is there something weird going on when the printer head (brass nozzle) traverses over the magnets (ie, electric currents, magnetic field??) casing the fields to flip.
I must admit that I am not handling the magnets with care, ie, I use a pliers to pry them apart etc but this would hardly cause polarity flip?
