Staggered prusa steel sheet holder with magnets

prusaprinters

<p>I liked the original design, but wanted to add magnets to keep it in place in a metal cabinet. I thought a re-design would be needed, but as luck would have it, I had a bag of magnets on my desk which fitted exactly in the hexagonal holes in the base!. Sweet! :-D&nbsp;</p><p>The base and the “lid” encasing the magnets are only a single layer, 0.2 mm, thick, otherwise the magnets would not fit. No alteration of the original .stl was required, the extra bits were all done in Prusa Slicer.</p><p>My magnets were 8 mm diameter by 4.5 mm in height. In theory, the magnets can be 4.6 mm high, and possibly a fraction of a millimetre larger in diameter, but not by much. It was a pretty snug fit!</p><p>For this remix, all I did was to add disks from the gallery and then scale and place them to encase the magnets.</p><p>Use the .3mf file if you want to put the magnets in a different place, change the number of magnets, or if you have a different size (smaller) magnets and want the fit to be good for them.</p><p><strong>Print instructions:</strong></p><p>Print the right way up with…&nbsp;</p><ul><li>0.2mm layer height</li><li>0.4mm nozzle</li><li>Any suitable filament</li><li>15% infill (I just used the default, I am sure it will work with other alternatives as well)</li><li>No supports</li></ul><p>Both the .3mf and the G-Code files have a pause inserted for when to add the magnets. This is done after 3 hours and 27 minutes of print time.</p><p>Since I have a MMU2 unit, I have also included the G-code for a single-colour MMU2 print, i.e. only one material and no tool changes.</p><p>As the first picture shows, it passed the vertical test for the magnets… It stayed in place on the outside of the cabinet door :-)</p><p><strong>Thanks to:</strong></p><p>Chewy, for the model I based this on, and any previous designs he based his on.</p><p>The same license has been used as for Chewy's design, please do the same with any further remixes, as to keep the license as originally intended.</p>
