Patreon Bonus: Axolotl Fridge Magnets!

Added 2022-07-07 22:08:33 +0000 UTC

Howdy Makers!

I had an idea that I thought would be a nice bonus exclusively for my Patrons... magnets! Aside from being a fun way to hang postcards on your fridge, they could make a great little knick-knack add-on item for your shops!

This is a 3/4 scale refrigerator magnet variation of the Axolotl head. They shouldn't need any supports or brims/rafts. They print quickly and use very little material (About 10 grams each, if you follow my settings suggestions).

Give them a shot, and let me know what you think!

Cheers!
Matt

A dab of super-glue on the back of a 10mm x 2.6mm neodymium magnet, like These On Amazon*** will fit securely into the slot on the back.

Print Settings:
- 0.15mm layer height (looks nice and smooth at this scale.)
- 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.
