Flexible Magnetic Strap

I wanted to make something to hold objects in my van. I thought it would be fun to experiment with printing flexible material and embedded magnets. I came up with this strap. It's easy to attach around things and then attach it to a metal surface.

I learned a couple of things to print this:

• set a pause at the last open layer in the slicer
• warm the magnets up by putting them on the print sheet during the first part of the print
• coat the top of the magnets with PVA glue stick like Elmer's

There are two different models. One uses two magnets, and the second one uses four magnets for more holding strength.
