HexPlayerPods Magnet Alignment Tool

This tool is specifically designed to assist in placing the magnets in HexPlayerPods. The tool contains 3 magnetic sides, marked Top, Bottom and Side. The polarity of each hole is also marked.

When gluing the magnets into the tool itself, it is critical that you get the polarity of each magnet correct. There are many ways to determine the polarity of a magnet but with tiny little disc magnets like this it can be quite difficult. One simple way is to join the magnets into a small chain (say 10-15 magnets) and then spin them lightly on a very shiny surface. The magnets will usually finish spinning with their final alignment in a north-south direction. Do this a number of times, perhaps using a felt-tip pen to mark the north end of the chain to confirm it is the same on future spins.

Once you've established which side of the magnet is which, glue the magnet into the appropriate hole in the tool. If the hole is designated as a North hole, glue the magnet so that the North face
