Amount of infill does not matter.</p><p>It is important to follow this guide:</p><ol><li>print the file Magnet_Fidget_Switch<br>- set up a pause right before the hole closes.<br>- put the magnet in and resume printing</li><li>print the file Magnet_Fidget_bot<br>- set up a pause right before large hole starts to close with the squre opening.<br>- put in your Magnet_Fidget_Switch part with the knob pointing downwards.<br>- resume printing<br>- you can release the to parts by pushing the switch down</li><li>print the file Magnet_Fidget_top<br>- optional: set up a pause after a few layers to switch color<br>- set up a pause after the small hole closes<br>- put in the magnet <strong>in the repelling direction to the previous one</strong> and resume printing</li><li>glue the top piece on the bot piece</li><li>enjoy! ;-)</li></ol><p>Consult the photos. The build process is shown.</p><h4>Important note:</h4><p>Make absolutely sure that the magnets are repelling each other, there is only one correct orientation for each.</p><h5>Hint:</h5><p>It is usefull to put a small cube next to the part. Make sure that each layer starts with the cube. This helps to prime the nozzle after a pause. This is <strong>not </strong>a purge block. Which means for the color change you need to push the filament through manually until the new color shows up.</p><h3>Note:</h3><p>There are two magnets to put in during the print process. My magnets are 5x5x5 mm. The f3d file is also provided in case you need to adjust these values.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
