Magnetic Multi-Colour Butterfly – AMS Version

This is the multi-colour version of my magnetic butterfly design, created for printers that support multi-colour printing. For Bambu users, it works directly with the AMS system, and I have included a 3MF file so you can print it straight away.

If you are using another printer or printing without AMS, you can still achieve the same effect by manually assigning colours in your slicer.

I have also designed butterfly versions that can be printed in multi-colour without an AMS, using simple filament swaps. Those models are available on my profile if you prefer that method.

Each butterfly attaches magnetically to its base. You will need 6 × 2 mm round magnets and a small amount of super glue. The magnet is glued into the base, while the butterfly snaps onto the base with no glue required. For other magnet sizes, the model is easy to adapt: I have included a base without a magnet hole so you can add a hole at the bottom to suit your magnets (please use magnets that are 2 mm thick).
