Magnetic Cube Background Box with optional LED strips

I normally publish and update all my models at MakerWorld. They are only here on Printables to keep the accounts consistent.

Please download the newest version here at MakerWorld.

Inspired by the Triple G Workshop's Cube Background Panels and Eusterics' idea of making it self assembling I made a version with magnets (6x3mm) which is easy to print, assemble and store. 

I designed it from scratch, but I think it's a kind of remix.

There is also a blank panel which can be used to fix LED strips for bright light (last photo).
Please turn a blind eye to my soldering skills.

Printing & Scaling

You need 3-5 panels and optional the top LED panel if you want to use LED strips. Otherwise you need some strong light sources.

No supports needed. I used PLA Marble with .2 layer height, which looks great.

I recommend using the test print to check if your magnets fit in the holes.

Each panel has dimensions of 225x225mm. 

You may also scale it down to 66,667%, so the dimensions are 150x150mm, which is printable on a Prusa mini or Bambu Lab A1 mini. You would need 4x2 magnets.

If you have a bigger printer you may also scale the parts up to 133.333% (=300x300mm) and use 8x4 (or two 8x2) magnets.

Use the STEP file if you need other (magnet) dimensions.

Assembly

Take care of the right polarity of the magnets!

Each panel needs 4 magnets 6x3 per side. This means up to 16 magnets per panel, depending on how flexible you want to be.

I always inserted them from the right side and used the north polarity for the two top magnets and south for the two bottom magnets. 

The holes for the magnets have a diameter of 6.1mm for a snug fit. Depending on how good your printer is calibrated I recommend using super glue to fix the magnets. 

Now you have the perfect background for photos of your 3D prints!
I would love to see them …
