This is a compass which can be kept handy on your keyring, with additional handy uses.
Printed in PLA and utilising manual colour changes and pauses to place magnets into the model. Can of course be printed single colour and you can mark the screws in the end only to indicate North facing end. The screws increase the magnetic attraction for picking up small items.
I found that it is better to place a mark on the North end of the magnets for reference and when placing the magnets (Both North Upward) apply a small amount of Gluestick glue to ensure they dont get pulled out and up to the extruder.
Magnets are 10.0mm x 2.0mm Neodynium readily avaliable, from many of your favourite web shopping sites.
And the two screws one for each end of the compass are steel M4 x 8.0mm (Not essential)
Pause for 1st Colour Change Black to Yellow at Layer 10.0, then Pause at Layer 10.5 to insert first magnet, then pause for second colour change Yellow to Red at Layer 41.4. And finally Pause
