Magnet size and SmCo magnets
Hi everyone,
I'm going to get my first fingertip magnet implant. But i can't find answers to these two questions:
1) What's the optimal magnet size? Does bigger magnet means much sensibility?
2) Does SmCo magnets are powerful enough to provide good sensibility? SmCo magnets have the advantage of longer life and higher corrosive resistance, wich means less toxicity in case of magnet coating endamagement, so imho the can be useful in case of similar sensibility. Have someone tried them out?

A 3mm x 3mm magnet is probably a bit big for the finger a unless you have some real sausages for fingers... and probably even then. In my fingers the m31 produces a bump that is notable if you're examining them, but I have girlishly narrow fingers. A 3mm x 3mm would probably work well in the wrist or the side of the hand.
I really recommend the m31 from Dangerous Things, the coating is biosafe, highly resilient, about as thin as can be made, and commonly used in medical implants. It's a magnet made by biohackers for biohackers, and was developed by some of the fine folks here.
