Description
This is a simple yet visually appealing thumbtack (or pushpin) magnet for your fridge, white board, or anywhere else you want to stick something!
These are designed for a variety of differently sized magnets, from Ø3mm to Ø12mm diameter magnets. I have included thumbtack profiles for stacking two smaller diameter magnets to increase the strength. These small magnets can be relatively weak, but stacking them in the same orientation can nearly double their strength, which is a great use for some smaller magnets you may have laying around.
Printing and Install
All the models are included in the same file on different plates, just select the plate that corresponds to the size you want. Each plate only has one object on it. This is so that if you would like to print multiple at the same time, you may just increase the amount of copies prior to printing.
The model is designed for a tight press fit with no glue needed. I suggest lining the magnet up underneath the hole in the model and pressing the model down onto the magnet, rather than trying to press the magnet into the model.
*UPDATE - 2/23/26*
I have added a print profile with an included brim if you are struggling with adhesion issues or concerned about them. They are designed to separate with minimal to no post processing. If you are printing multiples, do not worry about the object spacing if the brims appear to intersect each other in the preview. This is normal and the intersecting brims will combine to act as one larger brim, while still being easy to remove.
*UPDATE - 6/24/26*
I have created and uploaded a print profile with additional sizes accommodating magnets up to 12mm in diameter, and additional models that support stacking of larger magnets for a powerful hold. There are another dozen sizes, check them out!
