Shadows of Brimstone miniatures trays with embedded magnets by razorhead

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

Needed to organize the chaos that is Shadows of Brimstone. Found these holders: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4168653 but I kept having minis snap off their bases because the magnets were too strong.
So I moved them into Tinkercad and moved the holes to the bottom. After gluing my fingers together a million times, I decided to embed the magnets instead. Super simple. Slice your model, preview it and find what layer starts covering the holes. For me that was layer 12, but Cura starts from 1 and gcode starts from 0, so I searched for layer 11.
Searched for "layer:11" and found this:;LAYER:11 ;TYPE:WALL-INNER
and changed it to this:
;LAYER:11
;EMBED MAGNETS
G1 X10.000 Y300.000 E0; stick tongue out
M1; USER STOP
M105; RETURN TO CURRENT TEMP
;TYPE:WALL-INNER*
You can change Y300 to match the dimensions of your print bed, but for the X1, that pushes the plate forward to make it easy to add the magnets. When the print stops and you've put the magnets in, resume your print and you're all set.
I can post the ones with the holes on the bottoms too if that's too much work.
Working on designs for storing cards for those models with the minis as well, but those are still WIP.
Painted the trays to make sorting and finding a bit easier.
Will update as fix things up.
