The file 'Octo Magnetz… The Ultimate Fridge Magnet! 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 5.3 MB.
Octo Magnetz are the ultimate fridge magnet... they have 8 multi-jointed moving tentacles each with a magnet at the end to secure notes, photos and more.
This is an easy print that makes a fun, practical and very functional solution for everyday use at home, in the office or workshop. They are also great as a gift and can be printed in your color of choice.
Once completed all you need is to get some suitable size magnets and glue them securely into place. Please refer to the post print instructions and images for additional information.
At standard scale Octo Magnetz measure 179 wide x 13mm deep so build plates need to be this size or greater to print this design. Scaling it down is not recommended as it will reduce the designed in joint clearances (for the moving tentacles) and mean smaller magnets need to be used which may not be suitably strong to hold thicker pieces of paper or card etc.
Please post images of your Octo Magnetz in use!

Tips: Tips are not expected but are appreciated as they help offset my filament costs as much as anything else. However, as I live outside the USA tips cannot be sent to me via PayPal.Me as that service is not supported in my region and this is beyond Thingverse's control. If you feel like sending a tip please use regular PayPal and send it to [email protected] and, to those who do, thanks in advance!
