Hi folks,
I know the last poll was a tough one! Closest runoff we have had in a couple years .The Ladybug was a fun challenge and a new mechanism for the wings was necessary to give it customizable options and the ability to "fly." 🤣
I did go ahead and add the captured magnet version. For those that think you may want a keychain, don't forget you can add holes and loops. I played with all kinds of options and just felt overall, it was a little too bulky and articulated to make a keychain a viable option. But if you're feeling jazzy... give it a try.
Happy Printing -Dan

Print tips and Info:
I successfully test printed between 60% and 115% for this one. You can go big, no problem. The smaller versions have the littlest legs, so use high quality materials and settings. I personally feel 70% is as small as you should go.
Right and left wings are interchangable, though there is a more correct way to place them.
8x3 magnets should be used for 100% and 6x2 magnets at 80%. Magnets are linked in the info below.
STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.
I print with, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.
As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the mini versions. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List
1st and 3rd photo is 100% 3MF magnet and regular versions: I used a glitter red that is currently unavailable, but linked another option Ziro Diamond Red. Also note I printed one version with the black body and face.
2nd photo is 90% 3MF: Overture Yellow, Sunlu White, Anycubic Black
4th photo is 80%: Ziro Peachy Sunrise and Sunlu Red for the Wings
