Hi - I am almost done with the gun - its a very awesome build but it can be quite fustrating with the innner magnets parts inside the gun handle. I am having a lot of difficulties with it - how did you manage to put the 2 magnets inside the gun handle - please share some insight. Nothing seems to work - and I am having a hard time gluing the magnets inside.

I am having a very extreme difficult time gluing the magnets inside the gun handle - how did you manage it? This is the only thing keeping me from finishing the build. Please help me out. Either I glue it wrong and the magnets do not hold or its very hard to even squeeze any tools to keep it in place. Please help.
Unerstood 👍
✅ There are several ways to do this.
One of them: take 2 rod-shaped objects. One steel with a flat end (a long screw with a flat head, a steel handle of a technical scalpel, etc.), the second wooden (a stick from sushi, etc.). We magnetize a magnet to the end of the metal object, apply glue to the back of the magnet or the hole. Using our steel "guide handle", we seat the magnet in the hole and, slightly shifting our steel guide along the pressed magnet, press it to the hole with a wooden object. Leave it like this until the glue dries completely.
We glue the 2nd magnet after the glue on the first magnet dries. We magnetize to the guide, seat it in the hole, fix the product in such a position that you can leave the magnet with the guide to dry, wait until the glue dries, separate the guide.
Another way, also explained. You will need tweezers, a flat-head screwdriver (small diameter, otherwise the magnet will be pulled out of the hole by the screwdriver) and a steel object with a flat end. We place the magnet in the hole with tweezers (don't forget about the glue), press the magnet in the hole with a screwdriver, remove the tweezers, gradually move the screwdriver to the side, to the edge of the magnet and then move it with a straight transverse movement (so as not to provoke magnetization). Wait for it to dry. Then we glue the second magnet with a rod object with a flat end, fixing it until the glue dries.
