Magnetic Chaos Dice Case

thingiverse

This is a magnetically sealed case I designed for my Chaos Dice. The case uses ten 3mm cube magnets, five on each side. I secured them with a tiny amount of superglue to the bottom of each magnet to prevent them from falling out when the extruder passes over them. Before gluing them in place, make sure all polarities are matched so the case can be sealed from any position. Once they're glued, they won't come out easily. It's also essential to know how to pause a print since it takes about a minute or two to get all the magnets in and a few seconds for them to dry before resuming the print. My set was printed on a Prusa i3 MK3 using slic3r and ColorPrint. This software is easy to use, making it a great choice. I initially tried printing the case with Colorfabb Bronzefill but had trouble achieving the right level of detail on top. To solve this issue, I switched to Hatchbox Copper PLA, which pairs well with the 14-hour-tumbled Chaos Dice made from my KitchenAid Rock Tumbler.
