Description
A remix of ModernGnome's great little Gecko model to be used as a fridge magnet. One of my kids loves putting things on the fridge, and loves my super strong neodymium magnets, and loves 3D printing, so I combined the lot in this remix! She even helped with the measuring of the magnet using my digital calipers - i'll make an engineer out of her yet!!
I have 6x3mm magnets, so cut a hole in the STL to match that - a little wider for tolerance issues with my printer. I used Tinkercad to cut the hole. Tinkercad seemed to mess with the smooth model ModernGnome made and it's now all angular up close. It still prints great at 100%, but I wouldn't recommend scaling this too big! Get the magnets used in this project here - http://amzn.to/2adgI9p, and the green PLA from Rigid.ink here - http://amzn.to/2adgorq.
Check out my selfie with Beatrix Potter, legend!!
Time lapse of the print can be found here: https://youtu.be/-7RefkLkQE0
Excuse the orange/red gunk on the print, some left over form a previous print which I couldn't get off my bed or nozzle - not to worry!
