Hello everyone!
I'm working on the Flash Movie suit build specifically with the boots shin/calf pieces and the helmet/neck pieces and I'm trying to determine the best sizing for the magnets to be used for it. I tried some 5x2mm ones, but they're too small to hold up the jaw to the helmet. Any ideas??
That sounds like an awesome project! For stronger hold, you might want to try neodymium magnets in the 10x2mm or even 12x3mm range—those tend to have much better pull strength. Also, make sure the surface contact is as flat and aligned as possible for max efficiency. Some builders also double up smaller magnets or use rare earth magnet strips for better distribution. Good luck with the suit—can’t wait to see it finished!
