Fish Refrigerator Magnet

A fun little fish-shaped refrigerator magnet! The fridge magnet is actually quite strong because it uses (3) 6.4x6.4x2.5mm neodymium-iron-boron (rare-earth) block magnets, which are embedded in the body during printing (shown in the photos). I designed this around and used Magcraft P/N: NSN0610/N40 magnets. A print pause is used to insert the magnets during the print process. The magnets are a tight fit, but will settle into place with a firm press of a finger. I recommend aligning the poles of the magnets before inserting them, but this is not functionally necessary. The print is sliced with a height range modifier to provide finer detail to the top surface of the fish (base to shoulder is 0.2mm layer height, top surface is 0.1mm layer height).

Like the Fish Refrigerator Magnet, but wish it were smaller? Check out the Mini Fish Refrigerator Magnet!

.step file now available, for those of you who would like to adapt this design to the magnets you have on hand.
