Magic Cake

For my daughter's Halloween costume, I created this towering treat that is taller than the lid it fits under. It's cool, and it works, but the hours spent printing and finishing it are a challenge to justify in just seconds of amazement. Requires three M3 screws to attach level 1 to the platter securely. I used 10mm length screws, but any length will likely work. Also requires these magnets: http://a.co/d/faNz8DG, which can be found on Amazon for $8US. These magnets need to be glued into place with CA glue before they're usable. Before gluing, ensure the + and - ends of each magnet match up to their opposite counterparts on the level above or below. I marked one end with a Sharpie pen to keep track of this. It's also essential to alternate between + and - as you go around the 3rd level. This way, if you slightly rotate the lid, it will detach from the cake (you can see this in the video above). If you mess up your magnet orientation, remember that acetone dissolves CA glue. PLEASE NOTE!!! - After printing, I found the 3rd level likes to rotate and get stuck under the 2nd level. As a patch, I had to add the red plastic beam pictured above to keep the 3rd level from falling past the 2nd. I cut a piece of plastic from a laundry detergent bottle for this. - I also found that the 2nd level would not fit into the 1st due to the anchors inside the 1st level for screwing into the platter. Using nippers, I clipped out space in the 2nd level for the 1st level's anchors. Sorry, not worth my time yet to adjust the model, but if there's demand I'll see to it. - The rectangular holes in the tray are designed for a Velcro strap to hold it securely to your hand.
