What is this?
A 3D-printable magnetic clothes button that allows for people with disabilities to easily button/unbutton their clothes.
Required Components
Parts to 3D-print:
- 1 MagneticButtons.stl part for each button (e.g. if your shirt has 6 buttons you'll need to 3D-print 6 of these).
- Each MagneticButtons.stl file contains 2 identical components.
Other Parts:
- 2 6x3mm magnets for each button (e.g. if your shirt has 6 buttons you'll need 12 magnets).
- Superglue.
Assembly Instructions
Preparation:
- Acquire the components listed above.
- Carefully remove the existing buttons from your shirt (or whatever else you plan on adding magnetic buttons to)
Button Assembly:
- Using superglue, glue 1 magnet to a 3D-printed button component.
- Repeat the above step, ensuring that the 2 magnetic buttons are attracted to each other (and not repulsed) before gluing.
- You now have a magnetic button pair. Repeat these steps for the remaining magnets and 3D-printed button components.
Sewing Buttons:
- Take one magnetic button from a pair. Sew it into the location where a previous button was removed - the magnet should be facing towards the fabric. (See ‘Outside Button’ in the below diagram).
- Take the remaining magnetic button from the pair. Sew it over the matching buttonhole - the magnet should be facing away from the fabric. (See 'Inside Button’ in the below diagram).
- You now have an accessible magnetic button. Repeat these steps for the remaining magnetic buttons.
