MagShips: Preview Set

thingiverse

This set is designed as an advance feature for a large project that's currently underway. Drawing from my existing modular spaceship building sets, I've introduced magnets to enable swift and effortless reassembly. This particular collection contains all essential components required for constructing a compact ship. Each component in this base setup will be completely interchangeable with brand new parts which are expected to become available soon. Important: To assemble this set correctly, you will require 5mm magnetic balls. I make use of the previously illegal BuckyBall magnets that numerous individuals often have on their work surfaces. As these components are engineered for compatibility with 5mm magnets, it's possible to adjust the scale of your model to accommodate alternative magnetic diameters (such as reducing size by scaling to 80% with 4mm magnets or increasing dimensions up to 120% using 6mm magnets). Caution: BuckyBalls and similar magnetic playthings were discontinued from market shelves for good reason. Strong, compact magnets are an extreme risk when ingested, resulting in serious injury, especially among young children. Always supervise children closely if they plan on handling this set or engaging with it for entertainment purposes. To build the model successfully: Use a tool (like pliers, the handle of a spoon, or press) to gently guide and securely attach 5mm magnets into place. This process should be difficult without tools and any removal attempt must damage plastic components either through cutting or melting in order to achieve disassembly.
