VORON 2.4 Enclosure Round Magnet

Small printer parts that do not fit a single category — check the dimensions rather than the name. The parameters are listed in order of importance: the one at the top decides the most, and no amount of care further down makes up for getting it wrong.

What this part is
VORON 2.4 enclosure magnet, pressed into a magnet pocket in profile or a printed part, to hold panels, doors or quick-release parts. Sized to the VORON 2.4 pockets.
The parts of this item
Figure 1 — A magnet needs four numbers: diameter × thickness × grade × plating — one grade down loses about a third of the pull
The parameters that matter
Not every number on a part like this is worth the same. These are the ones that decide whether it fits and works, and what to look at for each.
| Parameter | What to check |
|---|---|
| Size | Usually Φ6×3 / Φ8×3 / Φ10×3. Both diameter and thickness have to be right. |
| Grade | N35 / N42 / N52. A higher grade is a stronger magnet. |
| Material | Nickel-plated neodymium. Strong, but it demagnetises above about 80 °C and it rusts. |
Reading the part numbers

You can order by part number or by selecting the parameters. The part number is fastest, but it does not always encode every parameter — the selector on this page is the authority.
5 common mistakes
- Measure before ordering. Parts in this group are not standardised and a model number is not enough.
- Watch the units. Mixing mm and inch is the single most common mistake on parts like these.
- Check the mating part too. The part can be right and still not fit what it bolts to.
- Measure before you order. Take the old part off and measure it, or send us a photo with the caliper reading — that beats guessing from a model number every time.
- Everything here is in millimetres. Where a size is imperial, convert it: 1" = 25.4 mm, 1/4" = 6.35 mm, 3/32" = 2.38 mm.
Telling it apart from lookalikes
Against a ferrite magnet: neodymium is five to ten times stronger for its size, but hates heat, rusts and costs more. Ferrite is cheap and heat-tolerant, and weak.
Confirming it is the right part
This page has one configuration, so there is nothing to choose — which makes confirming that it is the right part more important than studying the specification. Three steps is enough:
- Measure the mating dimension — the one place this part touches something else: bore, shaft, thread, tube OD, or hex across flats. It is the number people get wrong, and half a millimetre out means it will not fit.
- Measure the outline and the mounting hole spacing. Two parts that do the same job from two makers often differ by 2–3 mm between holes: it looks like it will fit, and it goes on crooked.
- Send us two photographs: one general view showing the machine and where the part sits, and one close-up with the caliper reading in shot. If the machine has a nameplate, include it — plenty of these parts are specific to one machine, and the model number locates them faster than dimensions do.
When to replace it
You do not replace this until it fails — but "still looks usable" and "still reliable" are two different things. Any one of these and it is time:
- Judge by the part: wear, deformation, growing play or noise all mean replace.
Fitting and use
Before you fit it
- Measure the part you are replacing, not the drawing. On a machine that has been running, the drawing and the machine are rarely the same.
- Check the mating part as well — a correct part on a worn mating face still does not fit properly.
- Lay the new part next to the old one before you take anything apart. If they do not match, you have found the problem before the machine is in pieces.
Fitting
- Clean the mounting faces. A burr or a chip under a bracket puts it out of square and no amount of tightening fixes it.
- Bring fasteners up finger tight first, then torque in a cross pattern. One screw taken to full torque first pulls the part off position.
- Check freedom of movement before final tightening. If it binds, it is misaligned, not tight.
After fitting
- Run it through the full travel by hand, slowly, before applying power.
- Check again after the first hour of use — fasteners settle and things move.
- Keep the old part. If the new one fails you want something to compare against.
Do not
- Do not force a part that does not fit. It is the wrong part or it is not square, and forcing it damages both.
- Do not reuse a fastener that has already been stretched or has damaged threads.
- Do not skip the alignment check to save time. It is the cheapest step and the one that decides how long the part lasts.
