Summary

Remix from the beautiful Snitch from Porda.

Diff Log:

  • Split into two halves
  • Added magnet holders on both sides to fit 8x2mm magnets
  • Enlarged wing's end for it to get stuck without glue

I guess the wing may or may not fit in the snitch depending on your print settings. I got lucky, but if you aren't, just sand and remove excess material on the wings, or enlarge progressively the snitch's hole with some kind of drill.

Same goes for the magnet's holes. I pasted them from a model where they had fitted perfectly without glue.Yet this time, I was less lucky, the margin was slightly different, given the smaller resolution.

Room for improvements:

  • Adjust the magnet holders so that they're perfectly centered
  • Create a second version of the wing, since the enlarged plug is shifted away from the real center of the quill, for printing purposes. This asymmetry calls for a chiral wing design rather than identical wings.
