FridgeToys: Displeased Dove

There are two sizes of this thing: 83x96 mm and 50x57. The model files are named accordingly.

The details of the printed drawing on top get tiny when scaled down to fit on this. The often used linewidth of 0,4 mm will likely smear the lines together or the slicer will simply ignore parts of it. I recommend to go down to 0,2 mm linewidth in the slicer.

That doesn't necessarily mean the nozzle has to be 0,2 mm as well. For me, using a 0,3 mm nozzle worked best as the smaller one easily clogged. A 0,4 mm nozzle will do but you see the difference.

The model is meant for 2 color printing with a single extruder, you change the filament at a certain height. The base has 4 mm and then the drawing follows with 0,4 mm.

Slice it with a layer height of 0,2 mm, first layer height 0,3

and in the slicer insert a “Change filament” before the 21st layer (check the preview where the drawing on top starts!)  and thus you can print it black on white or what colors you prefer.

The magnet goes into a hole on the back, it's made for 8mm diameter, 2mm height neodym magnets. The hole may need some sharpening after print and shoould hold the magnet tight without glue.

Print it with (tree-) support dor the magnet-hole.

Going down with feed rate and temperature for the last 2 layers may help avoiding stringing.

I reuse a printed drawing I did before for this thing.
