Joystick fidget with magnets

Hello everyone!

I created this model because we all know how fun it can be to use a joystick.

The model uses two magnets (10x2mm), one placed in the base and the other in the joystick part itself. To position the magnets correctly, you'll need to program a pause at layers 29 and 63. Be careful when resuming the print, as the magnet may be attracted to the print nozzle. If that happens, you can secure the magnet with a bit of glue. This has only occurred a few times when placing the first magnet.

It might be a bit stuck, but if you gently move it back and forth, it should come loose. If you have WD-45 or something similar, you can use that to improve the process.

For the print, I used the 0.16mm high-quality preset with some adjustments for support. I opted for:

• Tree supports
• Standard
• Overhang angle: 38°
• Supports only on the build plate.

Let me know if you want different magnet dimensions, and I can adjust the model accordingly.
