The Idea:
- idea and design by my good friend @just__sophiaa
- fancy sword housing a full set of Roleplay Dice
- self aligning and closing lid using magnets
Design Process:
- after her general design, I added the alignment and magnet features
- pins in the bottom and indent in the top hold the two halves aligned
- the handle houses magnets on each side, in addition to one pair in the tip of the sword
Overall dimensions:
| weight | height | width | depth |
| 145 g | 35 mm | 273 mm | 141 mm |
- fits on an Ender 3 diagonally
Print recommendations:
- PLA
- 0.4 mm Nozzle 0.2 mm Layer height
- 15% grid infill
Additional Parts:
- 6 pieces of 5 mm x 2 mm Magnets (example)
Assembly:
- if you want to add the magnets, you'll have to insert them while printing before the openings get closed
- I had the printer run a bit slower and placed them mid print, you can also add custom gcode to initiate a pause
- remember the magnets polarity, so all are the same and the top and bottom half attract each other after everything is closed up
Bottom Half:
