The FridgePawn series brings the strategic elegance of chess to your kitchen. Designed to accommodate a variety of round magnets, each model ensures a snug fit for the specified size, turning your fridge into a grandmaster’s canvas. Choose your size, make your move.

Each size is matched to the 3 mm magnets available from Bambu's Maker supply.  You can also get these on Amazon/AliExpress.

  • 5x3 mm Magnet Model: Perfect for light papers or photos.
  • 6x3 mm Magnet Model: Ideal for postcards or children’s art.
  • 8x3 mm Magnet Model: Great for securing thicker papers or small brochures.
  • 10x3 mm Magnet Model: Holds up to small notepads or recipe cards.
  • 12x3 mm Magnet Model: For larger drawings or multiple sheets.
  • 15x3 mm Magnet Model: Strong enough for small calendars or cardstock.
  • 20x3 mm Magnet Model: The ultimate hold for heavier items or small tools.

Each FridgePawn is a tribute to the timeless game, crafted to bring a touch of sophistication and fun to your daily routine. Whether you’re posting a reminder, a work of art, or just keeping things organized, there’s a FridgePawn for every piece in your life.

Shown:  4 of the 5x3 mm models with magnets installed in black matte PLA.

Printing Notes:  

  • Designed with tolerances for PLA prints for the magnets to be press-fit in, however you may need a touch of glue, especially for the larger magnets.   
  • For small sizes like 5/6/8 mm round, you shouldn't need any support for the models, but for the larger ones you may wish to consider supports.  
  • If printing in something other than PLA, or if your print/magnet tolerances are off, you may need to scale the model slightly to get the desired press-fit.  I would advise you to print and assemble a test print before printing a bunch of them.

Model Notes:  

  • Provided as an all-in-one 3MF as well as STEP files.
