3D PRINTING SETTINGS - Magnets
*All magnets use 10mm x 2.6mm magnets like These On Amazon***.
- 0.16mm layer height
- 3 walls with a 0.4mm nozzle (could do 2 walls with a larger nozzle.)
- 10% Lightning infill (lightning infill is great for these because it keeps the weight down and only creates infill where needed. Keeping the weight down helps the magnets be more effective.)
- 5-6 bottom layers (gives a little extra strength to the magnet attachment area.)
- If your printer struggles with bridging, you may need to add support inside the magnet slot. Give it a try without and see how it goes.
*While it may be possible to safely drop the magnets in without pausing the print, if you are using a faster printer or printing many magnets at once... it would be best to add a pause to your print. I suggest pausing close to the layer where the magnet slot is nearly done, but not covered (see slice image above). This is fairly easy to do in most cases, but be aware that some printers do not support this option via gcode, and must be paused manually. Please research your printer and slicer if you are unsure how to do this. To add a pause to prints in Cura, follow this Guide. To add a pause to prints in Bambu Studio and Prusa Slicer, follow this Guide.
*NOTE, be cautious when using steel nozzles, the magnets may want to grab hold of them. I did not find this to be a problem when using a magnetic bed surface in tandem with the steel nozzle.

Hmm... It's hard to say. Can you email me some pictures, and perhaps a saved project from your slicer and/or gcode export? You can email them to matmire.makes@gmail.com

I did 15%infill, 3 wall, print speed 45 inner walls and 22.5 outer wall, but still the fall right outβ¦any suggestions would be amazing! Thank you for all the work you do! These are awesome!

2023-07-01 12:01:57 +0000 UTCI print these at 60% since they fit magnets that I already own from other magnet prints and I like the size better. They print fine with standard 15% infill, 3 walls, and 4 floor, but I will try the lightning infill to see if I like it better. Thanks for the great prints! You're supposed to be on vacation!
