Replacement magnetic peg for Melissa & Doug Switch & Spin Magnetic Gear Toy

prusaprinters

<p>We needed a replacement peg for the Switch &amp; Spin toy, so off to work I went and combined the most perfect five cylinders in just the right way to create it.</p><p>Print it with a layer pause at 2.60 mm and insert a 12x1.6mm magnet (the cutout is 12.5mmX2mm). Don't forget a <i>small</i> drop of superglue to hold it in place.</p><p>The finished peg has a slightly smaller base diameter than the original, because in the original it was the magnet that slips into the hole. With this design, the entire base slips into the hole. There are a few comparison pictures to see what I'm talking about.</p><p>I've included a .gcode file that <i>works well for me</i> so you can see print time and material estimates. It has some custom pause/resume code that I found more practical with OctoPrint than what PrusaSlicer provides out-of-the-box. My advice to you is <i>never print someone else's gcode</i>; best to always slice it yourself so it's going to work with your printer and your materials.</p><p>It seems like this product is no longer made, and is hard to find in North America.
