Design 5 Fridge Magnet STLs
Budget: €8 – €30 EUR
I have five reference photos and I need each one turned into a clean, print-ready STL file that I can pop straight onto my slicer. The finished pieces will be printed in plastic and a magnet will be glued to the back, so the rear face must be flat or slightly recessed to accept a small round magnet.
I’m aiming for medium visual detail—enough to capture the character of the originals without introducing features too fine for a standard 0.4 mm nozzle. Think solid, fridge-friendly shapes rather than ultra-intricate figurines.
Key points to keep in mind
• Source : I’ll supply one photo per model.
• Scale : Each magnet should be roughly palm-sized (around 60–80 mm on its longest side); we can fine-tune exact dimensions after a quick chat.
• Printability : No impossible overhangs please—design with FDM printers in mind.
• Material look : Model as if it will be printed in plastic; no simulated metal or wood textures are needed.
• Back side : Leave a 20–25 mm flat (or shallow pocket) for a magnet disc, 3–4 mm deep.
Deliverables
1. Five separate STL files, each named logically.
2. A low-poly preview or screenshot of each model so I can check likeness before sign-off.
3. Any native files from Blender, ZBrush, Fusion 360, or similar if you’re happy to include them—useful for future tweaks.
I’ll approve the job once each file slices cleanly in Cura/PrusaSlicer with no non-manifold errors and the models match the photos at medium detail.
If you’re comfortable sculpting from reference images and have an eye for practical print design, I’d love to see a sample of similar work and get started right away.
