The Clicky Magnetic Pizza

This modular, clicky and satisfying magnetic pizza is the ultimate interactive toy and a guaranteed eye-catcher!

Unlike regular printable food playsets where the toppings just slide around and fall off, this model utilizes integrated magnets. Every topping and slice satisfyingly "clicks" into place and stays firmly secured, making the whole assembly feel solid and mechanical.

The project is fully pre-sliced and optimized for Bambu Studio with pre-configured pause commands for magnet insertion.

🧲 Hardware Requirements

To complete the full pizza as shown in the pictures (6 slices, 6 cheese bases, and 6 pieces of each topping), you will need:

• 102 pieces of 8 x 3 mm Neodymium Magnets
• Super Glue (not absolutely necessary, but recommended)

🍕 Toppings

Every topping is modeled as separate parts in the 3MF file, allowing you to easily color them in Bambu Studio:

• 🥓 Bacon
• 🌿 Arugula (Rucola, Rocket)
• 🧅 Red Onion
• 🌽 Corn
• 🍳 Egg
• 🍄 Mushrooms
• 🌶️ Chili Pepper
• 🧀 Extra Cheese
• 🍕 Pepperoni (Salami)

🛠️ Printing & Assembly Guide

1. Nozzle Choice & Superglue “Hack”

• Use a 0.4 mm Stainless Steel nozzle. Unlike Hardened Steel, stainless steel is non-magnetic and won't attract the magnets when the nozzle passes over them during the resume phase.
• The Hack & Preventing Rattling: Even if you use a stainless steel nozzle, adding a tiny drop of super glue into the hole before inserting the magnet is highly recommended. It fixes the magnet firmly in place, ensures it won't jump up to greet the nozzle, and prevents any annoying rattling inside the finished print. 

2. Material & Temperature Warning

• This model is designed for PLA
• DO NOT print this with high-temperature materials like ABS or ASA. Standard neodymium magnets lose their magnetism permanently if subjected to bed temperatures above 80°C! Keep your bed temperature around 55–65°C.

3. Magnet insertion during printing

• When the printer pauses, make sure the magnets are wiped clean of any oil and pressed completely flush into their pockets. If a magnet sticks out even slightly, the nozzle will hit it on the next pass, causing a layer shift.
• Let the magnets sit in the holes for a minute during the pause so they match the bed temperature. This ensures the next layer of filament bonds perfectly over them.
• TIP: Smearing a micro layer of superglue on top of the magnet will further help the PLA adhere to the metal surface.

4. Magnet Polarity (⚠️ CRITICAL)

To make sure everything snaps together instead of repelling, keep an eye on the orientation:

• Toppings & Cheese Base: All top magnets (on the cheese bases and inside the toppings) should share the same orientation so that any topping fits onto any cheese piece.
• The Pizza Crust: The sides of the pizza slices contain magnets so they hold the round shape together. Here, you must alternate the polarity (North-South-North-South) as you go around the wheel. If you don't, the slices will push each other away instead of forming a circle.
• Tip: Use one completed/printed test slice as your "master key" to check the orientation of the next magnets before gluing them in.

🍽️ Print Settings & Filament Tips

• The layout is ready for 256x256 mm bed: Bambu A1, X1C, P1S, etc. However, with a little rearranging of the objects, all plates except the serving plate can easily be printed on the A1 Mini!
• The Serving Plate: I recommend using a Marble PLA filament for the stone plate. It gives it an authentic pizzeria stone look, though the actual pizza fits nicely into it even without magnets.
