What's a reliable and reasonably priced source to buy #neodymium #magnet directly from China? In between #dealextreme going down and the EU regulation on small magnets, prices went through the roof and quality down the drain.

I'd want both round magnets to glue/lodge into #3dprinting as well as spheres and those new-ish odd-shaped ones for #fidget and #boardgame use...

"Just use #Aliexpress" is not useful unless accompanied by a specific, reliable vendor.

[#]boost appreciated, as always.

@RichiH I've used Ningbo Binjie Magnetic Industry Co. https://x.alibaba.com/xVpNi8A a few times for orders ~100 units. Prices felt reasonable (though maybe not super cheap) and the N48/N52 neodymium magnets we've ordered seen to be the real deal, they'll take your finger off

@blinken thanks! Is there no way to search for sizes? Or am I missing something?

@RichiH I think most magnets they make are CNC cut to order, so you just need to reach out for a quote. The minimum order quantity is about 100-200 I believe.

I've ordered both custom shapes (from a STEP file, came out very well within 0.1mm) and "standard" 25x2mm discs, all came back as specified.

@blinken the ones in their video are pressed, and then presumably sintered. Custom shape sounds... Interesting... Don't have any immediate need, but that's interesting.

What did you pay for those?
