Description

Quick-change magnetic bowtie!

The title is self-explanatory…

 

There two basic styles - classic and modern. Modern style does have few extra files- two custom designs and a monogram button to be added at your convenience.

 

There are limitless possibilities:

  • use two colors - each side with a different one - change in one second!
  • no top or bottom (or both) layers, only infill you like (with two color option as well)
  • add you own design to the bowtie wings - blank bowtie file included in the files

What you will need:

  • Magnets of course! I use 8x3mm round magnets (these will do just fine https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006115927544.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.71be1802tiJ5hU )
  • one bowtie uses
  • you favourite way to tie a bowtie, silk ribbon is recommended

Print settings:

  • 0.2 layers - this is important, so you will always have 3 layers covering the magnet - don't forget to add a pause (color change) to your slicer at the appropriate layer
  • when adding the magnets, don't forget to alternate the polarity - see the picture from the slicer, so you can have the effect as seen in the cover gif
  • I print with 5 perimeters and 4 top/bottom layers
  • 20% infill
  • no supports needed

Happy printing!
