Magnetic Tile Haunted House RAILINGS, PILLARS, ARCHES & BEAMS
by3DPmomThese are the railing, pillar, arch and beam pieces for the magnetic tile haunted house.
3D Print Settings PLA Filament Layer height 0.2mm Infill 15-20% No supports needed (see recommendations for brims below)
Neodymium magnets needed for arches and railings: 20x5x2 and 10x5x2 Neodymium magnet size need for pillars: 12x5x3 OR 10x5x2 Magnetic build plate highly recommended but not absolutely necessary.
Here is a link to Amazon for the magnets needed for this print: https://www.amazon.com/shop/3dpmom
Arches Neodymium magnets sizes needed for the arches: 20x5x2 and 10x5x2 (I strongly recommend using these size magnets. If you go larger it may not allow the magnets to rotate within their chambers.) I recommend brims for the arches to prevent warping at edges. For the arches, add a pause print at layer height 6.0mm to insert the magnets. When the print is paused insert the magnets. I like to alternate these two size magnets between the magnets holes (20x5x2, 10x5x2,20x5x2, 10x5x2, etc.). I found if I used all 20x5x2 they were too strong and if I used all 10x5x2 it felt a little too weak. After the magnets are inserted, resume the print.
Railings Neodymium magnet size need for railings: 20x5x2 and 10x5x2 Brims are not needed for the railings. Add a pause print at layer height 6.0mm to insert the magnets. I like 20x5x2 for the magnets at the bottom of the railing and 10x5x2 for the magnets along the side of left and right railings. Insert magnets, then resume print.
Pillars I recommend a brim for the pillar body/base piece because it is tall. The brim will help add stability. Add a pause print at layer height 6.0 mm to insert the magnets. Insert magnets, then resume print. That's it:)
I have also included a 3mf print profile with the following print plates: Print Plate #1 (Railing Pieces): one color, pause inserted at layer 30 (layer height 6.0mm) Print Plate #2 (Pillar Pieces): one color, pause inserted at layer 30 (layer height 6.0mm), brim added to base/body piece Print Plate #3 (150x150 Arch Wall): one color, pause inserted at layer 30 (layer height 6.0mm) Print Plate #4 (150x150 Arch Wall with Notch): one color, pause inserted at layer 30 (layer height 6.0mm) Print Plate #5 (Beam Piece): one color
Have fun printing!
