Bonus: Flexi Factory Mini Frog... Magnet and Keychain versions included!
🕑 Added 2024-12-26 20:04:15 +0000 UTCEveryone ready to test out those new machines... er "gifts" you may have received (or bought for yourself hahaha)?
There have been a ton of messages asking for a mini Flexi Frog. Some of you may ask, " Why not just print the regular frog small? " You can, but it would be incredibly fragile. This one is made to be mini, with beefed-up joints. Since it had to be redesigned anyway, I used this as an opportunity to add a cute smile and eyes that work better for a very small print.
I have included a captive magnet and open-magnet version, one that hangs with a loop and one with no mods. If you have a machine that has the ability pause during the print:
- stop it right before the layer that bridges over the magnet slot
- manually place the magnet
- then resume the print.
Happy Printing -Dan

100% is best for magnets and keychains. These are quite small already. But you may be able to go to 80% with high quality materials and settings.
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 3 walls, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or layer height for quality.
Make sure you have good adhesion. I always use a glue stick or next generation adhesion plate.
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/flexifactory *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases
All photos are 100% 3mfs: I printed in Ziro Meadow Mirage and rotated through the colors.

It may have gotten turned upside down? In that case it would repel and not magnetize possibly???

Any hints on a the captive magnet option ? I placed the magnet in and it printed over it, but it will not stick to anything. Maybe it was to high where I paused it ?

which magents are you using for the open magnet version?
