Magnetic Joint MineCraft Steve

thingiverse

The MineCraft Steve 3D print features magnetic joints that allow you to insert 5mm neodymium magnets into its cylindrical holes in the body, head, arms, and legs. The magnets can spin and self-orient for seamless component connections without polarity issues. To place the magnets, use your slicing software to determine the layer that caps off the cavities and insert them during that layer. Shoulder joints require extra care due to their lateral orientation. The model's textures have been approximated by removing shallow laminae, maintaining an 8-bit aesthetic. New versions of the figure with larger magnet cavities are available for better functionality. The body has slight offsets at the shoulders and neck for improved movement.
