				<title>Magnetizing Defiler Joints - good idea or bad?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ So I've resigned myself to the fact that I have to do SOMETHING to secure the leg-joints of the Defiler to the body.  Superglue is certainly an option, but I was wondering what thoughts were on magnetizing the joints?  Seems like you could cut off the ball portion of the plastic and replace it with a steel bearing of roughly the same size to maintain posability.  Could also do two magnets I suppose but I imagine you'd be more or less stuck with your leg positions, although the joint would be pretty darn strong that way.<br /> <br /> Or should I just glue the stupid things?<br /> <br /> I didn't realize how cheap the rare earth magnets actually were (Or how strong!!) and I'm chomping at the bit to use 'em.  Definitely going to magnetize the arms and base/body.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ It works to magnetize the joints, I did it with my defiler. You need to use 2 pins per joint aswell to keep the legs from rotating around.<br /> I drilled/glued 2 pins in two corner diagonally too each other and used the magnet in the middle. Maybe the magnet is not needed, but the legs stick better.<br /> By doing this I can transport the defiler in a 4" tray.<br /> ]]></description>

				<title>Magnetizing Defiler Joints - good idea or bad?</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I originally left all my legs loose on my first defiler. I have since added two more and I glued all the legs in place. They were just too fiddly to mess with. <br /> <br /> Magnetizing the legs could work but it seems like it would be a bit tricky to get them posed right.]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ For my first Defiler, I glued the back four legs in place and rigged up some magnets for the two <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(20);'>CCW</span> arms (the big crab claws).  This way, if it does manage to lose them, I can remove them easily enough.<br /> <br /> For my second defiler, I didn't use the big <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(20);'>CCW</span> arms up front, replacing them with two of the smaller normal legs.  I glued all six in place.<br /> <br /> I wanted to hit a spot somewhere between stability and transportability.]]></description>
