SnapFrame – Magnetic Instax Mini Fridge Frame

SnapFrame is a lightweight magnetic photo frame designed for standard Instax Mini photos, 86 × 54 mm.

It uses two 5 × 3 mm round magnets and can be attached to refrigerators, magnetic boards, lockers, and other metal surfaces.

Only one model is required. Use it vertically to insert the photo from the top, or rotate it horizontally to insert the photo from the side.

The photo can be replaced easily without removing or disassembling the frame.

Magnets

You will need:

• 2 round magnets

• Diameter: 5 mm

• Thickness: 3 mm

These magnets are easy to find online. As a price reference, I purchased a pack of 60 magnets for around €10 on Amazon.

The holes are designed to hold the magnets with a press fit. Depending on your printer tolerances, adding a very small drop of superglue is recommended for extra security.

Make sure the magnets are fully inserted and sit flush with the back of the frame.
