Description

PDF

This fish fits two 8x3mm magnets inside so other toys such as this otter https://www.printables.com/model/889097-magnetic-otter can hold it.  Unlike the original model this fish is two sided to work better as a small toy rather than a refrigerator magnet.

Printing

 * Use a raft. The model doesn't have a flat bottom and the tail didn't work without a raft.
 * Use 3 walls.  I found that the top of the tail often fell off unless it was strong enough with 3 walls.  but maybe that's caused by how my printer did the pause.
 * Add a pause at the layer where it closes the magnet holes, insert the magnets.  Be careful!  As I inserted the 2nd magnet it would pull the first magnet out again and shoot it across the room.  After putting in the first magnet I covered its magnet hole with my finger as I inserted the 2nd one.  They'll need to be oriented correctly to attract each other.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Joined two fish back-to-back to make one double-sided fish and scaled it up to fit an 8x3mm magnet.
