Seven Ways to Install Magnets Into Your 3D Prints

Seven Ways to Install Magnets Into Your 3D Prints

A good maker story is not just about a clever build. It is about what the project teaches, what problem it solves and what curious readers can borrow for their own experiments.

Maker projects matter because they show technology at work with the cover removed: parts, constraints, mistakes, trade-offs and the small decisions that make an idea real.

Hackaday Links: July 19, 2026

A fresh space update is giving scientists and engineers another useful data point, the kind that can matter long after the launch photo or mission headline fades.

The value of space work is often delayed. The public moment is the mission update; the real payoff comes from the data, the engineering lessons and the experiments that follow.
