>>9257406Problem is that you still need a source of friction, but not enough to lock the joint. Plus articulation would be limited by the magnetic poles.
People use to do it on the wirsts of the first gen FAGs - drill the arms for a small round magnet and replace the hand joint with a ball type. You can easily buy those online in sizes that fit.
You could probably try stuff like coating the ball type magnet in rubber dip to get some friction, but I´ve never tried any of.
