<p>Print-In-Place Clamshell Container for Multi-Material or Single Color Prints</p><p>Please click the “Like” button above if you like this model, and if you print it please share a make/comment - I love seeing them and it keeps me motivated to continue making these in my spare time.</p><p>If you think of any fun/useful generic icons that might work well on here, let me know in the comments and I will see if I can add them, or remix your own, they need to fit into a 10mm circle.</p><h3>Clip Model</h3><p>Nothing extra required.</p><h3>Magnet Models</h3><p>Magnet model requires 3mmx2mm magnets. I used <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NZTN426">these</a>.&nbsp;</p><p><i>Please make sure the polarity of the top magnet is pointing the correct direction before inserting.</i></p><h4><strong>Magnets With Covers</strong></h4><h5>Instructions</h5><p>Print at 0.2mm</p><p>You will need to add pauses at the following heights to add the magnets:</p><ul><li>10.6mm (layer 53 @ 0.2mm)</li><li>85.2mm (layer 426 @ 0.2mm)</li></ul><p><strong>Tolerances are tight, please insert carefully as to not dislodge the print from the bed.</strong></p><h5>Pausing</h5><p>In PrusaSlicer, slice and slide the slider down to the layer. Right click on the <code>+</code> and <code>Add pause print</code>.</p><p><strong>Please note</strong> if you are using Octoprint and a Prusa printer, there is an issue with pausing on the current firmware, see <a href="https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware/issues/3148">here</a>. You will need to add custom gcode to your octoprint scripts to fix this and only resume prints from Octoprint, not the printer LCD.</p><h4><strong>Magnets No Covers</strong></h4><p>There is tolerance to add a dab of glue in the hole.</p><h3>Multi-Material Models</h3><p><i><strong>Please note that the order of the STLs matters! The icons MUST BE LAST in the STL list for them to print properly. I have numbered the STLs for convenience. You should only have 1 number each for each model.</strong></i></p><p>If you want to save a lot of print time, make the top accent color the same as the container.</p><h4>Printing Instructions</h4><ul><li>PrusaSlicer<ul><li>Layers and Perimeters → Quality (slower slicing) → Extra perimeters if needed: ✓<ul><li>This helps with quality of the icon on the vertical surface</li></ul></li><li>Infill → Advanced → Fill angle: 35°<ul><li>This helps with the quality of the infill on the bottom inside emboss</li></ul></li><li>DO NOT wipe into the objects infill - this will cause color bleeding</li><li>I personally turn skirt and brim loops to 0 for MM prints, but not required</li></ul></li></ul>
