Articulated Slug scaled up with two magnet holes

thingiverse

This is a revised design of 8ran's articulated slug, featuring a socket in both the head and tail for a 6mm x 2.75mm neodymium magnet. To achieve this, you will need to insert a pause command into your slicer code at around 3 mm in height, allowing the magnets to be placed into the model before resuming the print. The hole begins at approximately .75mm layer height, effectively embedding the magnets directly within the plastic. A screenshot is included for reference, in case this description seems unclear. The magnets utilized are those listed below. Upon measuring them with calipers, they registered 2.75mm - not the initially stated 3mm. Given that the hole depth reaches 3mm, even if the magnets prove slightly larger than expected, they should still fit comfortably. Warning: Be sure to check your print head's magnetic properties before proceeding! If it is indeed magnetic, it may inadvertently pull the magnet out of its socket as the bridging process begins. Fortunately, this was not an issue for my Micro-Swiss hotend on the Ender 3.
