Cartoon Villain (or Hero!) Magnet

Ever wanted to channel your inner Wile E. Coyote, or perhaps a more benevolent magnet-wielding character? Well, now you can! I'm super excited to share my latest 3D model: a vibrant, cartoon-style magnet that's as fun to look at as it is to print.

I've always loved the classic look of these U-shaped magnets from cartoons, and I decided it was time to bring one to life in 3D. This model prints in two awesome colors (just like you see in the picture!), and the best part? It's designed to hold a real magnet inside, making your printed creation look and feel functional!

I've set up the slicing to make it super easy for you. There's a built-in pause at layer 15, giving you the perfect moment to insert a 6x2mm cylindrical magnet. This little trick gives your printed magnet a satisfying "pull" and makes it feel like it just stepped out of a Saturday morning cartoon.

Important Printing Tips (Please Read!):

• Orientation is Key! For best results and to ensure the magnet insertion works perfectly, you must print this model standing upright, as shown in the images.
• Two-Color Magic: This model is designed for a two-color print. Get creative with your filament choices!
• Magnet Inclusion: At layer 15, your printer will pause. This is your cue to insert a 6x2mm cylindrical magnet into the designated cavity.
• Customizable Magnet Size: If you have a different size cylindrical magnet you'd like to use, no problem! You can easily adjust the size of the magnet cavity directly in your slicer. Simply modify the dimensions of the elements named "MAGNET L 6X2 - EMPTY" and “MAGNET R 6X2 - EMPTY”. Just remenber to adjust de pause layer.

I had a blast designing and printing this, and I can't wait to see what amazing uses you all find for your own cartoon magnets! Happy printing!
