Those magnetic construction toys that you've seen around. Watch an entire make of these: https://youtu.be/1idFaioi5L8 I grew up playing with Lincoln Logs. I'd always run out of the regular sized pieces. Even after eminent domaining my brother's set, I'd still always run out. Well, what if your mom or dad could just print more of the pieces that you needed? That's what I'm talking about. Maybe you don't need so many squares, but you need a ton of triangles. Print what you need. Reclaim the magnets from the ones that you don't use. I'll slowly be adding other pieces, but if there are some pieces that you really can't wait for, please leave a message and let me know. **If you're at all concerned about your kids swallowing magnets, don't give these to toddlers. Warn them that swallowing magnets can KILL them.** Keep the magnets away from anything with a screen or magnetic based memory (like your printer's SD card), or phone. I lost the contents of one SD card already. I don't even know what I did because I obviously wasn't paying attention. **Printing in General**: I used 10% infill, but you may be able to get away with even less, depending on how well your printer bridges. The holes are 0.8mm away from the walls, so these models are really designed for 0.4mm nozzles (two perimeters). However, your slicer should be able to make the adjustments if you're using a different sized nozzle. If not, let me know, and I can whip up some other files. **Some videos**: https://youtu.be/Ss8OYzlrfvs https://youtu.be/zUJzJhciNrc https://youtu.be/iRPefuyNqiU https://youtu.be/1EEYt9SgEbw https://youtu.be/7b0WJs70P9g https://youtu.be/VhQfAr73cAs https://youtu.be/wsNPHZT2k8w
