Summary

A remix of ModernGnome's great little Gecko model to be used as a fridge magnet. One of my kids loves putting things on the fridge, and loves my super strong neodymium magnets, and loves 3D printing, so I combined the lot in this remix! She even helped with the measuring of the magnet using my digital calipers - i'll make an engineer out of her yet!!

I have 6x3mm magnets, so cut a hole in the STL to match that - a little wider for tolerance issues with my printer. I used Tinkercad to cut the hole. Tinkercad seemed to mess with the smooth model ModernGnome made and it's now all angular up close. It still prints great at 100%, but I wouldn't recommend scaling this too big!

Check out my selfie with Beatrix Potter, legend!!

Excuse the orange/red gunk on the print, some left over form a previous print which I couldn't get off my bed or nozzle - not to worry!
