or, as i have suggested before, salvage already shielded magnets from a hard drive or buy them on ebay already salvaged.

Since a lot of people have been having magnet issues lately

ever since they implemented the fan monitoring, i thought i would make a post talking about the magnets I use that don’t seem to be causing those issues. salvaged hard drive magnets are normally attached to a metal plate, which dissipates the magnetism on that size. so if you put them magnet side down on the crumb tray, they will stick (hard) to the crumb tray, but not present magnetism on the top. if you flip them over onto the crumb tray metal side down and magnet side up, they literally don…

they were using a MuMetal shroud?

I have recommended adding shielding to the fans but I think that many issues I put down to gunk resisting fan movement when it was actually the many magnets that I preferred to use. The aluminium shroud and plate would be more effective if made from a magnet field shielding material, though it would be heavier with the problems that would cause and probably more expensive to make.
