New arrivals:

MagDial - Magnetic. Precise. Dialed‑In.

MagDial is a compact, magnet‑indexed dial designed for precise rotation with a clean, instrument‑like click. The top and bottom parts are centrally guided, the lower part includes a collar for stable rotation, and the magnetic layout allows multiple feel profiles depending on how you configure the magnets.

QuickPrint Edition (PLA Basic)

Prints in under 45 minutes
Low material usage (≈13 g)
Clean, functional look
Ideal for testing different magnet setups

Signature Edition

Contrast‑color first layer
Contrast‑color top layer
Same geometry, upgraded aesthetics

🧲 Magnet Compatibility

MagDial supports the following magnet sizes:

4×2 mm
5×2 mm
5×3 mm
6×2 mm
6×3 mm
8×2 mm
8×3 mm

Strength Recommendation

N52 is too strong → overly aggressive snap
N45 or N42 is ideal → clean, controlled steps

Assembly Notes

No glue required
Magnets are press‑fit
Top and bottom magnets must be installed with opposite polarity → otherwise no defined stepping
Best practice: install magnets gradually, not all at once → lets you tune the feel precisely

🛠️ Update – Improved Magnet Fit (v1.1)

The magnet tolerances have been updated. The original 6 mm pockets were too tight on most printers, so the diameter has been increased by +0.15 mm for a reliable press‑fit without glue.

⭐ Recommended Configuration (Best Feel)

3 magnets on top + 3 magnets on the bottom

This creates different engagement states depending on rotation angle:

sometimes 1 magnet in engagement
sometimes 2 magnets
sometimes 3 magnets

This produces a dynamic, expressive, instrument‑like feel.

Happy printing!

printed well! awesome desgns on the flat surfaces that are both eye catching and help with the spinning. make sure the magnets are the right way, otherwise it will repel. I put two in the wrong way and had to take them back out.

Are all magnet slots supposed to be filled? I saw instructions mentioned 3 on the bottom and 3 on top, but also saw some user photos showing all the slots filled with magnets. Also, when you mention opposite polarity, does that mean so the top and bottoms connect after the magnets are installed?

The designer has replied

@FloWal

Hi, basically there are endless combinations. There should always be at least one magnet more attacting than repellling in every of the 5 possible positions. Everything else is dependent on what you like and which magnrts yiu have available. If you put attracting magnets into all the holes I would recommend not to use strong magnets, otherwise the turning force gets too high... Happy printing! 😃 👍

double boost! love all your models! I was wondering if you could make a version of the magtire model that works with 6x3 magnets. I know it is a lot and would require a lot of effort but it would be awesome. Thanks!👋

The designer has replied

@FloWal

First of all, huge thanks for the double boost — really appreciate it! The MagDial model actually already exists: the file ‘Signature Model – 3mm magnets’ has a 6×3 mm magnet slot on the second (?) plate. Hope that works fine for you! Happy printing! 😃 👍

Oh i didnt see that! Thanks!

@user_1577323952

visually looks awesome when printed, but my 6x2 magnets will not fit in these holes no matter how hard I press :(

The designer has replied

@FloWal

Thanks for the feedback! Looks like I need to adjust the tolerance a bit — I’ll take a look at it. Glad you liked the print! Happy printing! 😃 👍

@FloWal

Hi, I just updated the models and increased the tolerance for the press fit in all models by +0.15mm - the magnets should fit in reliably now. Thank you very much for the feedback and: Happy printing!😃 👍
