How to add Magnets to your 3D Prints (the classy and the dirty way)

In the second part of my 101 tutorial series I'm showing you how to perfectly incorporate magnets into your models. This way you can easily snap your parts together after painting and if you should have a breakage in one part you're not destroying your whole model and can easily replace the broken part. And you don't risk to mess up your parts in the post processing stage when you try to drill holes into them after printing.
For that I'm showing you how to create pockets for your magnets in the stl files with Blender and with Meshmixer, so you can use whatever program you are more familiar with.

If you want to know which projects I'm currently working on for future videos:

Are you already using magnets for your models?

This was awesome man, this will be a game changer for my prints.
Thabk you

do you have a video on making the parts the magnets go into?? the little arm joint things that stick out, i dont know what the are called

Can you 3d print press fit holes for ball magnets? There is advantage of no glue and no worry about polarity.

Why not make the magnet shape the side of two magnets stuck together? That way you don’t have to make two and they are already aligned for both parts.

Meshmixer: Instead of moving magnet to resize - Double height of magnet - half of length will go into each part
