Impossible Dovetail Joint Cube (IDJC) inspired by "Clickspring"

Two days ago I watched a video of "Impossible Dovetail" on "Clickspring" channel on YouTube. For ambitious woodworkers, this project is very common, but Chris machined parts out of aluminum and brass. I really liked the look of this toy, but I don't have skills nor machinery to make one myself. But hey, I have a 3D printer and some minor CAD knowledge. So here's my interpretation of the Impossible Dovetail Joint Cube. The main difference to Chris's IDJC is the locking mechanism; his version uses a locking pin, mine holds together with magnets. Print Settings: Printer: CTC Resolution: .2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I've included two versions - standard dovetail and one with fillets. Just choose what you like. A matched stand is also available. Printable without raft & support. All files already "NetFabbed" and in the right orientation for printing. You'll need two Magnets (3mm diameter, 2mm deep) to hold the parts together. The red cube is a 75% version. Scaling works but, of course, magnet holes won't fit anymore and tolerances are tighter. Post-Printing: Just glue magnets in place, you're done!
