3D Model Challenge - Icon Font Magnet (with tutorial)

cults3d

I'd love for anyone who hasn't made their own model yet to join in on this project. It's incredibly easy, and I'm confident that with a little effort, you'll be creating your own models in no time. I challenge everyone to follow along and make one of these magnets - it's the perfect way to get started. And if you don't have access to a 3D printer, don't worry! Just send me the file for your magnet icon, and I'll print it out myself so you can post pictures and share with others. I've put together two videos that show exactly how to do this: one on getting Fusion 360 and making a calibration cube, and another on creating these custom magnets. The process is really straightforward once you know the steps. First things first, get yourself a copy of Fusion 360 - it's free and incredibly powerful. Next, download and save the squircle file that I've included in this project. Finally, grab some icons from icomoon.io (I used these for my own magnets) or try out fontawesome - they have over 900 options to choose from!
