For about 20 minutes before they wear out 😂

Magnets are superior to components that's wear over time and use like that

How to overcome fatigue in snap fit

But I like my magnets 😢

Why are snaps superior? Legit question. I mean, i thought the benefits of a magnet were the fact that they don't wear out or break easily.

For round lids, twist snap mechanism works great (inspired by @loftedgoods )
Little effort to design than using magnets, but worth it in long term.

Magnets > snaps

Magnets = easy win, snaps = engineering flex 💯

I think this comes down to use case. If it's something that's going to be used a lot and doesn't need the strongest connection magnets are great. If you want something more structural and isn't going to be heavily used snaps are superior.

finally, i found for my drone carrying case lid closing mechanism😌

Many plastic suppliers have free snap fit calculators too. Where you can design the snap to have the load you want for the given plastic. Comparing it to 3d print material is the challenge.

Gloves for what

I'd rather design once for magnets than design and 3d print 5 times for the perfect snaps. Compliant mechanisms are pure guesswork.
