  • Why buy MagnaRests Template and Carrier?

    • Template racks have become the standard in league and tournament pool play. But until now, now one has offered a convenient way to store, transport, and protect template racks. MagnaRest is the first to provide a Template Carrier that clips right onto a D-Ring or stows in a large pocket. This means that no matter what size case you carry–or even none at all–you can safely and conveniently carry enough 9-Ball (and 3-Ball) templates for a large event or for several weeks of play.

    • What’s more, while our competitors make an excellent product, but at a cost of $15 per template (plus shipping!) many pool players cannot justify the expense. At a unit cost as low as $1.25 (including shipping!) the MagnaRest 9-Ball Template is a great deal. This remains true even though we have to concede that their products are of superior quality. We provide the highest quality product that current 3D printing technology offers, and will continue to improve our products as the technology improves. But at the end of the day, any idiot can come along and crumple up their products as easily as one can ours. (I’ve seen it happen!) With our product, as opposed to our competitors’, you’ve lost less than the cost of a lottery ticket, and you have as many as 9 more ready to go.

MagnaRest Pool Products

Weaverville, CA
I've been a Pool League player for the past 10 years--APA, BCA, and more. In that time I've owned and used dozens of products related to the league, tournament or travelling pool player. To me this means compact, portable, adaptable, durable, and feature-packed. MagnaRest started with the Team Captain, a dream to create a better pool cue rest for my teammates and myself, and it grew from there to become a range of products that, I think, do a better than average job of solving problems unique to league players. This includes a means to store, transport, and protect template racks with the 9-Ball Template Rack Carrier--something that nothing else on the market even attempts to do.Although I started in wood, and plan to get back to that for even higher quality products, I settled on 3D printing as the best means to prototype my inventions, and in so doing I made a commitment to playing to that technology's strengths, particularly its ability to produce parts that are impractical or even impossible for other processes. One example of this is my Scoring Bead Set, which completely reimagines how the user interacts with the beads to give a more pleasant experience. Another example is how the Scoring Bead Set's metal hardware is captured inside the plastic parts, meaning that the user never has to worry about fiddly assembly or lost pieces.Along the way I decided for my own purposes to improve on age-old pool products. My Blunt Trauma Pool Triangle is one example. Whereas the standard pool triangle is a flimsy plastic or wood affair that flexes far too much to provide a tight rack, mine is optimized for rigidity in just the right spots. (The name comes from my firm belief that all decent pool triangles should by sturdy and bulky enough to inflict blunt trauma. But please don't!) As with all my products, I didn't stop with the core concept but instead added thoughtful features. In the case of the Triangle, these make accurately aligning the rack square to the rails of a pool table more intuitive.Please explore my offerings. I hope that you find something you like!

Meet the Maker

Hello,

Thank you for looking at my shop.

Selling my products was always in the back of my mind, but I wasn't sure that I'd actually go through with it until I heard about GoImagine. That's because I like its focus on makers and what I'm going to call "Internet-Based Localism."

I always buy American, when even I can these days, but even more important to me is to buy locally. (Not to get political, but I think that a major contributor to the decline of local and rural American economies is a lack of commitment from local and rural Americans to support the business nearest them. I understand the need to save money where one can, but if you send all your money away to businesses hundreds or thousands of miles away, how will it ever come back to you?) Obviously, I'm selling online now, but by sourcing as much of my materials as I can locally, and by offering products that you can't get anywhere else anyway, I'm staying true to a ethic of Internet-Based Localism.

The only other thing to know about me is that I am not a seller by nature--I'm a maker. All of my products have been prototyped dozens of times at least. For the Team Captain, it's well over a hundred documented prototypes and I don't know how many others. Along the way I always seek as much input as I can get from my fellow pool players. This is all because I want to create the best user experience that I can not just for myself but for as many people as I can.

Thank you for looking at my offerings, and especially for (presumably) reading this whole blurb. I hope that you find it in your heart to try my products, and even more importantly I hope that you enjoy them if you do. Either way, I'd love to hear from you.

Sincerely gratefully,

Craig

How it’s Made

3D Printed Templates and Carriers with a carabiner included. I've taken over a year to design, prototype, and produce this product before taking it to market.

Shop Policies

Processing Time:

  • For products in inventory: We guarantee that we will ship products in inventory within 3 days of receiving your order.

  • For custom products: We promise to keep our custom-order customers informed about the progress of their orders. Be aware that in cases where fulfilling an order requires us to acquire materials, such as specific colors of filament, 10 days must be added to the lead time. Other custom changes, such as in specifications or designs, must be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Our 30-day money-back guarantee against shipping damage:

  • If your MagnaRest product was damaged during shipping, please contact us at support@magnarest.com with a brief description of your experience receiving the package and/or unboxing the product. Please include pictures of both the box and the product as received. In these cases we will replace your product at no charge as quickly as possible. We expect to hear from you within 30 days of shipping the package. If there is a reason why you would contact us about shipping damage after 30 days, please let us know what it is.

Satisfaction guarantee:

If you are not satisfied with your MagnaRest product, please contact us at support@magnarest.com. We will receive your feedback first and foremost with an eye toward improving our products. 

Our limited lifetime warranty against defects: 

What the MagnaRest Quality Warranty DOES NOT cover:

  • Minor manufacturing Imperfections: These are 3D printed products, a process that allows creativity and variation on the fly but that does not produce the same consistency, finish, or cohesion as standard injection molding. That said, each MagnaRest product is thoroughly checked for form, function, and aesthetics before shipment. Manufacturing imperfections that do not fall under our warranty include but are not limited to surface imperfections, stringing, and minor deformations. If your product as received is out of specification beyond the limitations of 3D printing as it currently exists, we will replace it or refund your purchase.

  • Impact & Heat Damage: 3D printed products are not as impact or heat resistant as some other plastics products. They are designed with a balance between durability and cost in mind. That said, our products have been carried and used for years as both prototypes and finished products without failure, and several of them incorporate multiple materials to provide flexibility or rigidity at key stress points, as appropriate. Therefore, we warrant that they are exactly as durable as a customer can reasonably expect given their price, construction, and function. Heavy impacts or heat exposure beyond these parameters are not warrantied. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR MagnaRest PRODUCTS IN A HOT VEHICLE! Our warranty does not apply in these cases.

  • Over-Torquing, bending, tearing, etc: 3D printed plastic parts are not as resistant to torque, bending, or other stresses as standard injection-molded parts, which are not immune to abuse anyway. That is why our instruction manuals include information on torque or other stress limits. If you over-torque a component and strip its threading, roundout its fastener interface, or break its components, we will replace these components only when some major manufacturing defect can be shown. The same is true for other breakages, rips, or deformations.

What the MagnaRest warranty DOES cover:

  • If you are not satisfied with the product as received, you contact us within 30 days of shipment, and we have been unable to address your concerns, we will refund your purchase price. However, we reserve the right to refuse future orders, returns, or refunds if in our judgment these are warranted.
