Push Pin Fridge Magnet

thingiverse

This is an incredibly tiny little project, weighing in at about 1 gram of filament, which simply creates a refrigerator magnet out of a 10mm diameter x 3mm neodymium magnet in the shape of a popular type of thumbtack. I purchased 35 of these magnets from Amazon (US) here https://www.amazon.com/Refrigerator-JACK-CHLOE-Stainless-Approximately/dp/B01MFHNHNW/ for approximately $9.00. The final parts are about 18.5mm tall and make a perfect size to hold your notes and such to any metallic surface. **This design requires you to pause printing once the layer 3.5mm off the build plate completes.** If you're using a Prusa Printer, check out the gcode files here (https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/1817-push-pin-fridge-magnet) which will automatically pause the printer at the correct time and wait for you to insert your magnet. I've included the Fusion 360 archive for this project so you can make your own with other magnet sizes. I've also posted a video here of how it works/how it was made: https://youtu.be/lAp39FZbVRQ.
