This piece is part of a custom magnetic toy inspired by commercially available sets but adapted for young children. The original versions contain small parts with very strong magnets, which were not suitable for my one-year-old daughter. I designed this version to be larger and sturdier, with weaker magnets, making it usable for younger children.

The magnets are enclosed inside the print, preventing them from being removed even if the piece breaks.

 

Printing Settings:

  • Material: PLA / PETG
  • Layer height: 0.2 mm (recommended)
  • Infill: 15-30%
  • Supports: Not required
  • Nozzle: 0.4 mm (recommended)
  • Important: Magnets must be inserted during printing!

 

Magnets & Assembly:

  • The model is designed for 6 × 4 mm magnets.
  • I used two 6 × 2 mm magnets per slot.
  • Critical step: Magnets must be inserted during printing at layer 36 or 37 (when printing with a 0.2 mm layer height).
  • Magnet polarity: The magnets are arranged in a circular pattern, as shown in the attached image.
