Description

PDF

The button is used to store actual buttons and make it look cool. It is mountable to the IKEA Skådis Board, together with other electrical components. (It will take me some time to upload all the other ones). The lid is magnetic and the middle cylinder screws on.  Don't worry about parts mixing, once closed parts can not go to a different compartment. 

VARIANTS

For the body there's different variations: (see “Variations.pdf”)

  • A: 1 Section
  • B: 2 Sections
  • C: 4 Sections 
  • D: 8 Sections
  • E: Mix

Download the one you want, everything else stays the same. 

PRINTING

For colors, I'd suggest using black for the body and grey / metallic for the top and legs.

Printed this on my Bambu Lab A1 with layer height 0.2mm. (The layer height matters, as the Magnets are 3mm tall. If you change the layer height, make sure you know what you're doing or that the layer height is divisible by 3mm). I suggest using variable layer height for the top of the 4 knobs. Print the legs on the side with minimal support. 

I've used 10mm x 3mm round magnets (for example: https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s12/product/maul-magnet-10-stueck-magnet-6562276). These are inserted into the print while printing.  

Make sure you're printer nozzle is non-magnetic (e.g. brass, aluminum) or you'll have to glue the magnets in place when inserting them. To insert the magnets you'll need to pause the print (if the layer height is 0.2mm) at Layer 222 or height 44.40mm for the bottom and at Layer 18 or 3.60mm for the top. When inserting the magnets make sure to orient them the right way. (Have a look at this, if you have no idea what I'm talking about:
