No me gusta.

And yeah, I could work a notch in there to recess a magnet into the print.
But a powder coated frame is a little too tempting smile

I think printer #3 will be a T slot frame. The plus side of using those is there are so many designs already on Thingiverse to easily work with the slots like the OB1.4 printer.

Genius! Lets start making neodymium t-slot extrusion.

On second thought...it might be a bit brittle! smile

EDIT:  Although if you run out of bench top space, you could just stick the whole thing to the side of the Fridge!

- Easy to assemble
- It makes a very rigid framework

and if you want, you can just pop some T-nuts with flat head screws anywhere along each outer edge (your magnetic spots) for magnets to stick to...

I assumed he meant made out of a metal that magnets stick to so that things can be easily stuck to it with magnets.  Eg. plexiglass covers, LCD panel, etc.

Right. Epoxy magnet to non-ferrous frame, now you can stick things to it. big_smile

I have an empty SD2 frame powder coated black if you're interested in it.

Why magnetic?

4000 posts and you're asking "why magnetic" wink
