Made A Magnetic Probe Holder

Made myself a magnetic probe holder for use in-pot.

The holder was cast in a 3D printed mold with silicone and has a neodymium magnet.

For the silicone I used Smooth-On Soft-SIL 940 (Could probably go 950). The Magnet is a nickel plated neodymium magnet that is rated to 300 degrees.

This is just a prototype, i'm planning to evolve the design just a bit, but I am super happy with the result. I tested the holder by running it in a closed pot for an hour and didnt notice any issues with the part or the magnet. The holder holds the probe perfectly.
