Description
The three Deathly Hallows — the Cloak (triangle), the Resurrection
Stone (circle) and the Elder Wand (vertical line) — as a slim, clean
fridge magnet. The symbol is the print: no backing plate, ~5 mm
thick, elegant constant-width strokes, circle tangent to all three
sides, wand ending exactly at the apex.
Magnets hidden inside — no glue, no exposed metal. Each of the
three triangle corners is rounded just enough to bury a Ø5 × 3 mm
neodymium disc. The pockets are fully enclosed (1 mm wall on each
face), so both faces stay smooth and either side can go against the
fridge. Placement is symmetric, so you never have to think about which
way round it sits.
How to print — the one thing to get right (the pause):
Print flat on the bed, no supports. (Default 0.2 mm layers.)
2. Add a filament/print PAUSE at Z = 4.0 mm — that is layer 20
at a 0.2 mm layer height. In Bambu Studio: right-click that layer
in Preview → Add Pause, or insert an M0there.
3. At the pause the three corner pockets are open little cups. Drop one
Ø5 × 3 mm magnet into each. Orient all three the SAME polarity
(stack them together first so they all face the same way), otherwise
the magnet won't grab the fridge.
4. Resume the print. The next layers bridge over and seal the magnets
permanently inside.
That single pause is the whole trick — when it finishes the magnets are
invisible and captive forever.
Specs (default): ~58 mm triangle, 5 mm thick, 3 × Ø5 × 3 mm
magnets. Three small discs give a confident hold on a steel fridge /
locker / toolbox.
Parametric deathly_hallows_magnet.scad): edit the header to
retune tri_s(overall size), stroke(line thickness), corner_r
(corner rounding), and magnet_d/ magnet_h(the pause height moves
automatically to mag_floor + magnet_h). part = "section"renders a
cutaway so you can see the sealed pockets.
The gallery shows the printed magnet (black PLA) and the same piece
holding itself on a metal surface.
