Got some hexagonal magnetic fidget toys for Christmas, they were pretty limiting in what shapes they could be used to make, so I designed and printed a much more shapes.
Got way too deep into this, and keep running out of magnets. Used over 500 magnets printing and playing with these.
Somewhat, yes. The design I copied from uses 5mm magnets, which actually are pretty difficult to source, and much more expensive than disc magnets.
I'm curious if regular disc magnets would work as well, but you also need so many of them. Even the smallest set of 12 pentagons takes 60 magnets.
Though you also could do embedded magnets if you used discs....
