Magnetic Monkey Puzzle

Magnetic Monkey Puzzle!

Keep little ones entertained while you’re busy in the kitchen! The magnets are enclosed in the print and all the parts are large enough to not cause a choking hazard.

This Magnetic Monkey Puzzle is a playful and interactive toy designed to entertain children while helping them develop problem-solving and motor skills. The puzzle pieces are magnetized, allowing them to stick securely to any metal surface, like a fridge, making it perfect for family kitchens or play areas. With a vibrant, cute design, it’s both fun and educational—encouraging creativity, hand-eye coordination, and imaginative play.

The puzzle is made up of 10 pieces each with 2 enclosed magnets so they have a firm holding power while also being easy to slide into place

Dimensions: 169mm x 204mm

Height: 8mm

Individual pieces: 50mm to 89mm width

Parts needed:

20 x D8x2 mm Round Magnets

Adding the magnets:

This print has been designed to enclose the magnets within the print so their minimum risk of kids with small parts. it’s super easy! Just wait for the first pause as detailed below and place the magnets into their pockets on the print and hit continue! no glue required!

It is recommended to use the standard stainless-steel nozzle! The stainless-steel nozzle is not attracted to the magnets so they won’t try attaching to the nozzle when it goes over them.

No AMS need, the model has been designed so the colours can be changed using paused for layer height! Just add pauses recomended below to add the magnets and change the colour!

Here are the layer pauses with recommended colours to use:

• Start: Black

• Pause Layer 17 (3.4mm) - Insert Magnets

• Pause Layer 21 (4mm) - Change to Brown

• Pause Layer 29 (5.5mm) - Change to Beige

• Pause Layer 36 (7mm) - Change to Black

For reference, the model in the photos was printed on a Bambu A1 with a stainless steel 0.4mm nozzle:

• Black: Bambu Lab Matte Charcoal (11101)

• Brown: Bambu Lab Basic Cocoa Brown (10802)

• Beige: ELEGOO PLA Matte in Beige

As with all 3d printed toys, it is recommended kids should be supervised when playing with them.
