Magnetic blocks / cubes like Minecraft

My daughter saw my brother's design on thingiverse for magnetic toys with print-in-place magnets, and wanted me to make some for her. Since my daughter likes Minecraft, I decided to make her some building blocks. You will need to purchase diametrically poled rare earth magnets sized 3mm x 6mm. They cost about $0.12 each on aliexpress and ship from the US so they only take about 2 weeks to arrive. They're the same magnets used to make Settler's of Catan boards magnetic. You can get $3.00 off your first order if you use this link: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mMriwo8 There are two block types. A heavy and a light one. Due to gravity, it was nice to have some heavier ones to use for bases so that one could easier build out horizontally. The design has magnets only on four sides to save money on magnets, and print effort. You can still build pretty much anything you need with two sides without magnets. She didn't want to have to paint the blocks, so we used our Silhouette Portrait II and printed stickers. Instructions for stickers is on our website at https://www.princessminecraft.com/ Once we get 500 followers on Youtube, we will make these files available for free. Thank you for your support.
