You definitely did a fine job on that design, unfortunately I do not have access to a 3D printer or the knowledge to use it if I did.

But are you not still getting correct reading in speed ?
Craziest thing I have seen done with the Magnetospeed, but I totally get it. One of the reasons why I shifted to a LabRadar when it was on sale.
Speed shouldn't be effected by the Magnetospeed, but working up loads would require more ammo to shoot.. one set for grouping, the other for speed. This crazy method would solve that issue.

The Wiser set up works excellent!!
DING....DING....DING...The MacGyver of the Day Winner. The ole Magnetospeed just keeps those creative juices flowing. Cobble, cobble, cut 'n' bend, duct tape, zip ties, crazy glue, spit and hope......
Shooting only for MVs, I assume. If shooting for groups, how do you manage the suspension movement in the wind???

I have had a Wiser mount for two years. Can be useful comes to mind. But not excellent.
I'm waiting for a new MS bayonet as I type due to a bullet strike. The Wiser P picatinny rail rear portion attachment came loose and allowed the MS front tip to rise just enough to be nicked which killed the second sensor.
I also have a LabRadar. They are both accurate with a 2 f/s difference. I use the MS on rifles with greater than 3900 f/s MV
I think I will just mount it on the suppressor and live with poi shift. Or use electric tape around the rail attachment to prevent the locking springy things from coming loose
By an inertia trigger for Labradar. I have not missed one shot since.

I had my magneto on my 28 Nosler and was chasing my tail trying to get an accurate load. Read an article that said attached to your barrel it will change the harmonics. Took it off and now have a quarter sized group at 400 yds. What I did was take a 4X2" piece of 1/4 steel drilled and tapped a hole that will attach to my tripod screw for spotting scopes and then drilled a hole that the threaded screw of the magneto speed will just fit through and screw it on with the rubber cap. My tripod has a release handle that I can adjust so the magneto speed lines up with the barrel. What I use to line up with the barrel is a broken fiberglass arrow inserted in the barrel. Due to the force coming out of the end of the barrel I have a sand bag hanging from the center of the tripod.

My hair is now growing back in since I started using a remote trigger and an external power supply for my labradar. Before that I was pulling my hair out trying to get the thing to work. Labradar would do well to sell these items with the unit.

There's a few threads/posts on LRH--here--that delve in this conundrum. My latest, including photos, is here: https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/magnetospeed.241272/page-5#post-1890341
