Printability

This model is made for FDM 3D printing:

• No excessive overhang on any hold.

• Built-in sequential bridging for the magnet holes (no supports required).

All holds also accommodate longer screws when used without magnets, allowing them to be reused or remixed for other projects.

Printing recommendations

• If you experience adhesion issues, make sure your build plate is thoroughly cleaned.

For the holds

• Use a 0.2 mm or 0.4 mm nozzle with the Arachne wall generator enabled.

• Use 0.08mm or 0.12mm layer height for for best results, as the model includes many rounded surfaces and gentle slopes.

• Use a random seam position.

• Enable the Fuzzy Skin setting in your slicer for a more realistic climbing hold texture.

  Recommended settings:

  • Fuzzy Skin Mode: Contour (or Painted, with only the hold surface painted)

  • Fuzzy Skin Point Distance: 0.6mm

  • Fuzzy Skin Thickness: 0.2mm

For the printed screw heads

• Use 0.20mm layer height for the printed Screw Heads.

• Enabling the Arachne wall generator helps with the screw hole.

For the anchors

• Use a 0.2 mm or 0.4 mm nozzle with the Arachne wall generator enabled.

• Use 0.08mm or 0.12mm layer height for for best results, as the model includes rounded surfaces.

• Use Silk Silver filament for a more realistic look (or Silk Bronze for some suspicious-looking anchors).

Display recommandations

• The 30 holds plate (20 regular, 10 large) fits well if you want to create a bottom to top route for a regular sized fridge.

• Please do not tilt your fridge to create an overhang, even if it's tempting.
