Magnetic Lid for Wandering Towers Organiser

This is a lid with embedded magnets for the organizer for player pieces and spells developed by High Council Games 3D (https://makerworld.com/en/models/1423655-wandering-towers-player-pieces-setup-organizer?from=search#profileId-1479502).

I was hoping one of the users who suggested the lids would share their file, but they didn't. So I cobbled together my own in Bambu Studio :)

The lid just fits on the top two boxes, which also have embedded magnets. There is little space on the side of the box for the magnets, so I the used 4 x 2 mm magnets for both the lid and boxes. You can also use 3x2mm magnets on the boxes. One of the plates has a box optimised for 4x2mm magnet and the other one for 3x2mm.

Magnets are embedded - each print is paused (lid at layer 12 and box at layer 82) to have the magnets inserted. Box needs to be printed twice, once per each colour (Bambu Studio doesn't allow to insert auto pause when printing by object).

A few points, so you don't make the same mistakes as I did!

Let's say you first print the lid, then 2 boxes:

• make sure all magnets in the lid have the same polarity orientation (I found it easier to mark all the North or all the South sides with tipex, so if one is dropped / rotates while handling you still would know which side is which)

• insert them all tipex side up (or down); the holes are quite tight fit, so you'll have to align the magnet to the hole and to apply a bit of pressure

• when preparing to insert the magnets into the boxes, make sure to align the polarity to the magnets in the lid (so if you marked all North sides for the lid and inserted them marked side up, you'll need to insert North side down into the boxes)

When using strong 4x2mm magnets for both boxes and lids, you can hold both boxes upside down and the lid stays on.

I used proper 4x2mm magnets (ordered from a couple of places on AliExpress, some were 4x2, others 3.8x1.6).

Hope this helps!
