Custom Magnetic Sew Guide

Check out the "Sew Easy!" Group here at Thingiverse, where sewing supplies, 3D printed fashion, and tools related to threads and fabric come together at http://www.thingiverse.com/groups/sew-easy. This quick design for a customizable sewing guide uses two magnets embedded into the guide, which hold it in place on your sewing machine with ease. It can be used with cylinder and rectangle magnets of adjustable sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your needs. The size of the guide can also be adjusted to suit your preferences, making this design incredibly versatile. Remember to choose your values carefully and check your design before using it, as I have not added code for checking correct sizing boundaries. New in this version, I've added the possibility to print test pieces that help you test if your magnets fit into the holes of the guide quickly and easily. These test pieces are just big enough to cover one magnet, making them fast to print and perfect for rapid testing. The sizes for the default magnets have been set to fit a 5mm cube magnet and a 5mm radius cylinder magnet with a 5mm height, and the sizes are adjusted to fit my printer setup with a 0.4mm nozzle.
