HEXABOX - OVERHANGS AND BRIDGES COMBINED WITH STYLE AND MAGNETS! (Patreon)

I had some magnets laying around and i tought it would be great to make something useful with them.But instead of making a simple box with a magnetic lid, i tought it would be fun to test your printer at the same time. 

The hexabox is meant to do that. 

With overhangs and bridges everywhere, it will test your printer abilities for sure. 

Longest bridge is 51mm long. 

Overhangs are 45 degrees, pretty easy to do with a well calibrated printer. 

Small details like the tappered "X" on each face give some texture but also complexity to this print. 

Files are already placed in the right orientation. 

100% support free. 

You will need: 

(8x) 8x3mm rare earth magnets

Finished box is 100x100x100mm. Nice size for a lot of applications. 

Instructions are really easy: Print the two parts, and glue magnets inside mounting holes.BE CAREFULL: Check you magnet polarity before glueing!!!!

I ended up throwing my first print in the garbage because i glued the magnets on the wrong side on the lid... I felt really stupid, but its really easy to make this mistake. Once its glued, the only way to remove the magnets is destroying the box and you don't wanna do that. 

The box on the pictures is printed with a 0.3 layer height. I have checked the files to be printable in 0.3 and 0.2 layer height. 

You can do this print under 6hrs easily with a 0.3 layer height. (box and lid)

Be sure to have good bridge settings, with nice cooling for the overhangs, and everything should be fine!Ho! Don't pinch your fingers!!!! Those rare earth magnets are really powerful, so be careful when closing the box!! Still feel my first attempt on the tip of my finger!!! lol. 

If you are not familiar with bridges and overhangs, don't hesitate to ask questions!

See you later my friends! :)
