Top 5 Ways to Add Magnets to Your 3D Prints!

In this video, I show you the 5 different ways I've used to add magnets to my 3D prints. Adding magnets can be an easy way to join 3D-printed parts together, but some of the methods have unique advantages when compared to others. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

My favorite way to do magnets is using this spherical ones and pausing your prints to embed it completely. You never have to worry about polarity when installing the magnets that way as long as you have tolerances set so they can freely rotate.

[@madebyjwillis]

Never thought about that! I’ll have to try that out sometime. Thanks for sharing!

[@jamesnichols7507]

How do you keep the spherical magnet in the hole if some part of the extruder head has ferrous metal? You will have to print the hole so it’s slightly bigger then the spherical magnet so it has room to rotate around but if the extruder has any ferrous metal on the print head then it’s going to pop out of the hole. If you print the hole so it’s a tight fit then the spherical magnet can’t spin around for proper alignment with the other magnet.

[@SlickPickle88]

Where applicable, add a small pinhole to your print to push magnets out of their pushfits, helps with being able to swap polarity.

Perfect timing - I was just about to build a magnet locking system and started some tests whats the best way is to doit without glue.. great video!

[@madebyjwillis]

Awesome! Glad you found this useful! Best of luck with your project!

Great video!! Awesome B-Roll, I loved the "visualizations" and motion graphics text. You put a lot of work into this video, and it deserves way more views... If I can give you one unsolicited tip, sometimes, in my videos, if I don't "get into it quickly," retention drops. If I were you, I would cut the beginning and keep it super punchy, like one sentence, and then boom get into it :) You might be able to edit this video in the KZbin editor to cut the beginning, and it would be interesting to see if that helps the video retention. Hope you don't mind my unsolicited advice. Your video is awesome - SO well done... it deserves 100x as many views, and I hope to see you get them.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!

fantastic video. very clear and he cuts to the chase

Great video, as always - thanks for sharing!

Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!

Cool stuff and interesting ideas. Thanks for the share 🤙🏼

Thanks! Appreciate you watching!

Honestly, a really helpful video! Subscribed for sure.

[@madebyjwillis]

Awesome! Glad it helped! Appreciate the sub!

[@uuuuuusssseeerrrrrrr]

straight to the point no intro i love it subed!

[@madebyjwillis]

Appreciate you watching! Thanks!

[@YourBuddyDinec]

Great video!

[@madebyjwillis]

Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@morgenkaffe]

I always use pause and then leave about 0.6mm thikness between the magnet and the surface. Hidden magnets are allways better IMO :) Thx for the video

[@madebyjwillis]

Thanks for watching!

[@woodwaker1]

Good tips. How are you doing on the Prusa XL enclosure? Is it for sale yet?

[@madebyjwillis]

Still on track to have it available in December!

[@87livinglegend]

Can you make a video of the overhang method

[@madebyjwillis]

Sure - planning on a whole class of videos so I’ll add it to the list

[@burak1382]

If I wanna embedd some bigger magnet and I want it to make it the 5th way, shuldn't I be concerned about the printer sucking that magnet back up? Like... I have a round 15 by 5mm magnet with the pulling force of 2 kilos (0.59 by 0.2inch and pulling force 4.4 pounds)

[@sebastianramirez-th5fn]

What program are you using ?

[@madebyjwillis]

Fusion 360
