Magnetic Connecting Butterfly Wings - Hidden magnet kissing butterfly wing pendants. Two colors
byTwirlygrlandMomMagnetic butterfly wing jewelry concepted by my daughter--so we could have a matching set, to create a butterfly between us.
See the pictures for her original sketch!
Hidden magnets in the print create a kissing effect attaching the wings together.
Program a filament change at 3.0 for color change and a pause at 2.4 to drop the magnet in.
Utilizes a 4x2mm rare earth magnet in each. We use these https://amzn.to/3xvaKQv
Pay attention to polarity so the wings kiss instead of repel.
You can make a necklace or keychain, as well as other other forms of jewelry using jump rings. The holes for the rings are already in the model.
For the findings to make keychains or necklaces:
We like this set of hypoallergenic jump rings and findings from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3VOPkYB

Enable ironing for a smoother finish.
I like to print at .2 layer height with speed slowed to about 65% of my normal run speed, slowing it down to 50% for the top details in the second color.
Clean plate with IPA in between prints for better adhesion.
Wait until fully cooled to remove from plate.
