You are right.. looking on Amazon picturesPretty sure aranging them like this is the wrong way to use them.
You should screw to metal plate to one side and the magnet to the other.

You should find with just the plate and magnet, they have hell of a lot stronger hold.You are right.. looking on Amazon pictures

yeah i was thinking of doing that but seems most dedicated retailers are priced in bulk and far expensive than what normal consumers would buy them for.You should find with just the plate and magnet, they have hell of a lot stronger hold.
But if you want to go magnet to magnet for extra strength you'll need to find a manufacture that makes them with opposite poles on the counsunk sides ie. a matching pair
unless i put some sort of thin padding between them.. may lose a slight bit of attraction but could be used as a soft bumper.Actually, it may be wise not to do magnet on magnet. They are so so brittle that if you let go a little to quickly they pull together so fast will just shatter.
I know theyre expensive, I bought 5 (15mm x 3mm) a couple of years ago, cost me a tenner delivered.
Used them to put under a bottle opener to catch the caps. I was playing around with them and one snapped back to the stack from 5-10 mm away shattered 2 of them and cracked the 3rd... lol
The 2 left though work great for the catching caps
Yeah... the playing around part is the fun bitunless i put some sort of thin padding between them.. may lose a slight bit of attraction but could be used as a soft bumper.
I'll play around and see what works best
I use velcro for all my SSDs. Not had any of them need to be stuck on a 2nd time but obviously they are not nearly as heavy at reservoir with water going through it.Velcro, stuck down with Gorilla Glue.
velcro can be a possibility.. depends how its been looped..I use velcro for all my SSDs. Not had any of them need to be stuck on a 2nd time but obviously they are not nearly as heavy at reservoir with water going through it.
Oo another thing to try.. i was considering magnet tap as i have a roll, but seems mine is a dud as it can barly hold a set of nail clippers.. so originally decided against itAn alternative is magnetic tape. I used it to hold a PSU to the side of an external radiator:

I was a little concerned at first with using magnets so close to the PSU but there were no issues. It's a surprisingly strong attachment and can be easily repositioned or removed.
Pivoting is the best word to describe it.Can the OP describe again what the plan is turn pull the pump/res off clear of the case with the available slack on the incoming/outgoing tubes? That one photo suggests there isn't that much slack in the tubes? Or is it meant to pivot on rotatable fittings? Press studs may also be a option if a non magnetic removable fixing is required instead of velcro.
