Summary

These are experimental isolators that I created that utilize neodymium magnets to hold together. They will hold the couplers together while printing but release in the case of a bed crash. The magnets are 1/4" diameter by 3/8" length and should simply press in place.

Edit 9/9/15: I have added a v2 that I think works better for eliminating Z axis wobble. Still utilize the same magnets as before.

Update: I think I may like the original over the v2 parts. The v2 parts seem to have more play than I would like.
