PRINT INSTRUCTIONS
- .12mm layer height recommended for high quality

- press fit or glue in 3x10mm magnets (link to amazon below), for the hidden magnets pause the print at 3.8mm to insert

Great model! though I recommend adding a brim and slowing it down due to its shape so that it doesn't fail at the top (which happened to me 4 times) but other than that its a really Cool model!
