Bonus: Tiger Magnets & Tail Keychain!!
🕑 Added 2023-06-03 20:42:08 +0000 UTCHappy June everyone!!
I've posted the Tiger Fridge Magnets, including both Standard Glue-In version and Captive magnet versions (see note below). I'm also throwing in a Tiger Tail Keychain. It's basically the tail from the main model, but it makes a fun little fidget accessory, so why not!
Cheers!

3D PRINTING SETTINGS - Magnets
*All magnets use 10mm x 2.6mm magnets like These On Amazon***.
- 0.16mm layer height
- 3 walls with a 0.4mm nozzle (could do 2 walls with a larger nozzle.)
- 10% Lightning infill (lightning infill is great for these because it keeps the weight down and only creates infill where needed. Keeping the weight down helps the magnets be more effective.)
- 5-6 bottom layers (gives a little extra strength to the magnet attachment area.)
- If your printer struggles with bridging, you may need to add support inside the magnet slot. Give it a try without and see how it goes.
*While it may be possible to safely drop the magnets in without pausing the print, if you are using a faster printer or printing many magnets at once... it would be best to add a pause to your print. I suggest pausing close to the layer where the magnet slot is nearly done, but not covered (see slice image above). This is fairly easy to do in most cases, but be aware that some printers do not support this option via gcode, and must be paused manually. Please research your printer and slicer if you are unsure how to do this. To add a pause to prints in Cura, follow this Guide. To add a pause to prints in Bambu Studio and Prusa Slicer, follow this Guide.
*NOTE, be cautious when using steel nozzles, the magnets may want to grab hold of them. I did not find this to be a problem when using a magnetic bed surface in tandem with the steel nozzle.

Love this as a magnet... On a different subject, the lizards (so far) - my daughter loves them, and is wondering if an iguana is coming in the future???

Hmm... I think the Amazon listing says 2.3mm in error. I've purchased them from that listing twice, including just recently and they actually measure 2.55mm on my calipers. Honestly, even if they arrived measuring 2.3mm, they would still work just fine.
You say it uses 10x2.6 magnets but the one you linked is 10x2.3, did you list the wrong size or link the wrong magnets?
