Your logo looks good on those hold downs! Like the red.

Really like this! Got my magnets from Amazon and loaded this in Slic3r and it shows up very tiny. Were you able to figure out the scale?

Check out my version over here 'Corrected' square GF Magnet hold-downs
I don’t think pubultrastar ever got their file to behave correctly…

Those look to load fine in Slic3r. I will have to get them printed tomorrow. Thanks!

I think I figured it out. Can someone please load these into Cura or their own 3D Printing software and see if the renders properly? Thanks!

Just loaded them up in Slic3r and they look correct. I don’t have time to print them at the moment but they looked scaled properly. I will print this and the other above tonight or tomorrow.
Great. The default measurement unit in Fusion360 was set to inches. I have since change the global setting to metric. In the document settings for each sketch, I was able to change the Units from inches to mm, and that seems to be the trick. I will add this to my workflow if I have any parts that were originally created with imperial units.

Any chance you’d be willing to share the source file? I have some different sized magnets that I would like to create variations to be sized correctly. I could start from scratch using yours as inspiration but it would be easier to start from a known good state. (If you aren’t sure how to share them: on the file menu either use “share” to share a public link or “export” to save as a STEP file.)
Thanks!
Sure, I can do that when I’m back at my PC.

I exported from Fusion 260 to .STEP file, so hopefully this works for you.

These are perfect - thanks!
I made my own version of these for 30x3mm magnets awhile back. Finally got around to posting the files on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3294018
There is also a link there to the original Onshape document, which anyone can copy and modify for additional magnet sizes.

Updated version of the magnet hold downs. I’ve extended the lip on each side with a different height for different materials if you want to use the edge to hold materials down. Honeycomb hold downs are still the best for the sides, but I used these on every print. Entire thing is a bit beefier too.

Printing these right now on my son’s 3D printer. We’re bartering laser time for 3D printing time.

Forgot to thank you again for the work on these! I got the new ones printed a few weeks ago, just need to get the wood parts cut now. Keep forgetting to while I have the machine going.

Awesome! Replying for future reference!
Don’t bother. When the air assist fan passes over a magnet, it slows down a bit. Sometime this summer the FW changed to detect if the fan speed changes and GF will abort the print if the condition is detected. It’s trying to protect you from an air-assist fan failure, but the side effect is that you can’t use magnets reliably anymore. I still use them, but only when I can be sure they’re positioned where the printhead isn’t going to pass over them…
