Adds magnets to Printy Panels.
Options
- Small - Uses 1 magnet
- Wide - Uses 3 magnets
- Interior Corner - Uses 2 magnets
- Latch - Uses 1 magnet to connect panels at a 45 degree angle
Tall variants are 3mm taller than the default size. Use this when positioning connectors that span the 3mm gap built into horizontally connected Printy Panels.
Hardware Designed for 6x3mm magnets.
Printing
- All parts can be printed without supports.
- Add a brim if curling is an issue.
- Use large 0.3mm layer heights for quicker prints that are still strong.
- Use PETG, ABS, or strong formulations of PLA. Silk, woodfill, and matte PLAs are NOT recommended.
- Suggestion: print your connectors in different colors to indicate magnet orientation.
Loose Connectors?
If your connections are too loose, try one of the following:
- Add a slight fuzzy skin (0.1mm variance) to the connectors. This will essentially make the connectors a little thicker without altering their overall dimensions.
- Increase your extrusion multiplier so that the connector walls are slightly thicker.
- Increase your print temperature slightly - this often has a similar result to increasing the extrusion multiplier.
