My guess would be magnets
How do they work?
When a positive and a negative love each other very much....
Like a stick on magnet?
You leave a magnet sized cavity inside the print and have it set to pause right before covering that cavity up and slip your magnet inside the print.
Cool! I’ve never done any 3D printing and didn’t realize this trick was possible.
Not in an accusatory way, purely out of interest, why are you on the 3d printing community if you haven't done any 3d printing?
I know there could be several valid reasons, I'm just interested which one it is.
I was just scrolling along, and this post showed up. The pic grabbed my attention, so I read the thread.
The built-in magnet thing has me wondering what else you could do. Maybe make a pet toy with a little bell inside? Make a ball that rolls unpredictably, because although it’s smooth outside, hidden inside is a marble rolling along an irregular surface?
See this is funny because you have an imaginative mind yet don't 3D print while I don't have a very imaginative mind and do 3D print (mostly relying on other people's designs). You might look at getting into the hobby if it's something that interests you. Entry level machines start at $100-$200 and filament is around $20-$30 for 1KG.
That does sound cool. You'd have to make sure the bell would be safe with molten filament on it, but yeah.
