Improved version of my original magnets with 5 new cats, slightly thicker (5.5mm) and embedded magnets.
Choose the profile that match your printer and print the plate for the magnet size you want:
8x3, this plate uses 3 magnets per cat, 30 total.
10x3 or 12x3, both plates use 2 magnets per cat, 20 total.
I personnaly used 10mm magnet, holds pretty well for such big pieces:
They mesure between 75 and 90mm (width or height depending on the largest dimension).
You can customize magnet size and amount by editing the “magnet cutout” subobjects.
Pause at layer #17 (3.4mm) to place the magnets.
No ams is required, you can manually switch filament at layer #21 (4.2mm).
Be aware that if use a barely opaque white filament, the magnet may be visible through the top surface. So don't use really cheap filament.
Happy printing!
