......................................................................................Happy Spring (officially)!!!

I thought this would be a great little addition to the Bonus Mini/Magnet collection this month. Both the wings and body articulate and I made the links extra strong :) You have two captured magnet options:- 80% with a 6x2 magnet and 100% with an 8x3 magnet

Happy Printing -Dan*Please consider tagging @flexifactory/ #flexifactory in your social posts so I can see your amazing prints! AND make sure to share in the private Flexi Factory discord :) Members can join through the settings/apps tab or direct link in pinned post.

Print tips and Info:

STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.

I print with .12 or .16 layer height for quality. Consider .08 for very small versions.

As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the small body footprint. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.

Magnets are imbedded so you must put a stop in the slice to place the magnets (just above the point where it fills), slice again before sending to the printer.

I tested between 50% and 100%. The smaller you go detail will be lost. And Great adhesion is needed. They are soooo tiny!

I printed the mini butterfly with the following...

Ziro metallic green, Sunlu magenta, Shiny silk white, neatly wound white and Sky Blue, Overture purple, Giant arm Silk purple, Hatchbox Orange, Anycubic Black, and Elegoo yellow

Love these!

Printyboy

The wings are so so pretty! Awesome work 😊

Darren Gerbrandt

My wife is gonna love these. Looking at the 3MF, is the magnet 8x3 or 8x2? I am assuming 8x3 according to the buildplate name.

Dan

Thank you for the help... Typo above fixed :) Both options of 6x2 and 8x3!

Tracey Kryskowiak

Would you ever consider having the models not have the captured magnet and just leave the space under the piece? Or would that be harder? I just dont have the brainpower to remember to place the magnet, even with reminders. Lol

Charley Jones

You’ve outdone yourself once again, Dan! Beautiful

Dextar

Is this a member exclusive or can I just buy the file? I'd love to print these for my wife!

Dan

Just for members as part of the welcome/bonus pack.

Dan

It all comes down to time and the file system and testing honestly. I just opted for the captured magnet because the other magnets fall out and they scratch and I got a lot of feedback that they were dangerous to be sold. So I made a choice and this saves me a few hours of not having a third option. I always like to give as many options as possible but sometimes when there's 15 files for one design it gets a little time consuming :-) as an alternative, you can put a little modifier in there that makes that Hollow and for the people who want to do that then maybe a good option for you!

I could not find another place to leave you a message but just wanted to let you know that for both the Purple and Monache 6x2 magnet files there is not a pause to put in the magnet.

Adam Jones

What a Cute little Bonus!!! Thanks for sharing this little thing with us!! It will help brighten the early spring days!!!!

Dan

I don't provide the pause in the file. The STL doesn't contain any printing data so you would need to put the pause in yourself. This is the same for the 3mf because I have the 80%, the 100% And the non-magnet file available in that project file. So you would simply choose the one that you want and apply your settings and add the appropriate pause :-)

Sarah Stevens-Slater

Ok I wasn’t sure if you add them or not. They are Beautiful and I almost have a full plate done!

Stefani Factor

I have never done the magnets and bought some for these. When do I add them? I'm confused by that

Dan

You do this in the slicer. Add your settings then slice, drag the slicer down till you see the hole and scrub up until just before it covers, add a pause by right clicking your mouse, then slicer again. It will stop and allow you to place them.

Stefani Factor

Thank you for explaining that. I actually just watched it and added them manually when I thought I should...lol. that was right at layer 26, and then it paused on its own at layer 31...so there was a pause in there. I have never done these kind of magnets so I was confused.

Liza Happel

In love with these! Waited an eternity for someone to do a good mini butterfly and the magnet versions are perfection! :D You rock!

Millian Designs

I love these little magnets you've been doing!! Just wondering if you could start making non captured magnet versions in your .3mf files for those of us that dont want to stop prints please :)

Dan

Don;t know if you saw my response below. It does take considerable time with every variation. And due to safety concerns about the glued on magnets, I opted for the captured version after considerable feedback early on. You can add a modifier in the slicer to open that hole if you like. This would be allowed and fairly simple right there in the slicer :)

CW 3D Prints

No matter where I put the pause on the monarch magnet butterfly 6x2, it creates a line and messes up the color

Dan

I wonder if it is a temp issue causing a line at the stop mark? The slicer shows a line just to let you know that a pause is in place, but when printed it is not there. Are you talking about the slicer or the actual print?

Dan

Members are allowed to add holes and loops for keychains :)

CW 3D Prints

Both it printed that line in black this is the only print iv had this happen to. I cant get it to not be there 😕

Charity White

When will this be available again to buy?
