MAGNETIC BEAR

Tags

Description

Print-in-place articulated Bear with embedded magnets. No supports needed!

CONSIDERATIONS:

1. At standard size it needs 8x3 mm round magnets.
2. To place the magnets you need to add a print pause (Tutorial).
3. There are two versions, with and without magnet holes. For a smaller scale, or if you don't plan to add the magnets, I recommend using the latter.
4. The Heart is included, and uses a 10x3 mm round magnet (you can use 8x3 mm as well).
5. 3MF files with fuzzy skin are also included. If your slicer doesn’t recognize the fuzzy painting, just use the painting fuzzy skin tool to paint the outer faces (smart fill, 22º for every part but the butt; that one must be 4º). Leave the eyes, nose, and paws without painting for a better result.
6. Fuzzy skin settings: just for the painted areas, I've used 0.4 mm and 0.3 mm for 100% and 80% scale, and 0.4 mm and 0.2 mm for the small 60% scale. Feel free to mess around 😜
7. Trash can not included.

A TXT file is included with additional tips.

PrintSettings

A good first layer is mandatory for the print to succeed. Be sure your printer is calibrated and you have good bed adhesion.

Good layer cooling is also recommended, as it prevents curling and warping on overhangs.
