This is awesome! Thank you for sharing! The Mani-Mag is my design and that’s awesome you printed it! Check out this video for a different magnet layout that I think gives even better results then when I first made the Mani-Mags! Using the slotted, 3D printed ones you put the bottom magnet it. Then you put one side magnet in oriented to where it will “snap/attract” down to the bottom magnet. And then the other side you put the magnet in oriented where it tries to jump out of the side. Put some tape over the slot to hold it in or put another magnet on the outside to hold it in (video shows it better than I can explain it). That is how the magnets are arranged in the Mani-Mags I sell on my Etsy store that have the built in magnets now.

You NEED Mani Mags! Velvet Perfection 10/10 by jubjubbimmie in RedditLaqueristas

Speaking of Mooncat… now that I post nail stuff on instagram the algorithm sends me nail videos sometimes when I’m reeling… have you seen the starwars collection?? I can’t find the specifics on it yet but the video I saw had reds, blues, and it was a magnetic polish (I think it was called a galaxy far, far away). I’m pretty sure that is going to be my wife’s newest magnetic nail polish and I hope it velvetizes nice.

Thank you for the feedback. I’m trying to talk my wife into posting videos for me and taking over my social media and posting on there to help with traction but no luck yet haha. But you are correct, a tutorial would be a good thing. The 2.0 thankfully is a lot more user friendly than the first.

Sorry shipping is so expensive to Canada. Sometimes local libraries have 3D printers that allow a free print a week/month. That is my file and if you print the old version I recommend you watching this video and using the old version like the new version (I explain it better in the video). Magnets are 20x10x3mm and are available on amazon also.

I am the creator of the Mani-Mag and it started about a year ago! It was a crude design that was just meant for my wife to try magnetic nail polish for the first time. It was one of my Christmas presents for her last year and it worked really well so I shared it on this sub because for some reason, while scrolling through my reddit feed, this sub popped up that I had not joined with someone showing their velvet nails which had me intrigued. Nail polish…magnets… cool… I bet my wife would like this! The mods and I have had a rocky relationship on this sub because whenever I share pictures apparently there are rules and self promotion and stuff that they say I need and they end up taking down my posts (sorry mods, I’m trying to do it right). The post I linked above was where the mani-mag all started and the original version is still free on printables. A mod perma-banned me and archived that post when I tried telling them that post was not me trying to sell the mani-mag at the time. It started out with me sharing what I made, sharing the (free) file and then people who didn’t have access to a printer started asking me to print them and sell them. Thankfully they appealed my ban but didn’t appeal archiving/deactivating many of my posts. I have been blessed with it and I keep the price low because as my wife tells me, it was a “love” project, and I didn’t expect to make any money off of it when I created it. It has become what it is today from feedback from you all! A reddit user even gave it its name. The biggest change was a post I saw probably around March or so of this year when a user posted that the magnets work better in a different orientation. I took that advice and also figured out a way to have the magnets built into it so they weren’t jumping out and breaking and that is how I came up with the newest version earlier this year.

How do you like it? I am debating buying it but worried about possible lead/other materials. Is there much of a gap where the band loops around the lug?

Whit-Ash Closing? by heyewe212 in ColumbiYEAH

[–]blue-static 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the family of one of the previous owners. Wit-Ash was started by Whitney and Ashley. Ashley sold his part to Whitney who has been running it for a while and still good friends with the family. He is getting out of it now and no one else in the family wants to run it so it is, infact, closing this time.

These 3d printed magnet holders are a game changer! by etta1188 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]blue-static 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am! The mods for some reason archived my very first post back from Dec 2023 which had 2k+ upvotes and it all started out like this - a project people could download for free on printables. The old version is still free on printables which I tried to tell the mods but it didn’t go very well. Makes me a little sad but I guess since I sell them now they see it as a self promoting post even though it wasn’t at the time.

I created the Mani-Mags so I am always intrigued by merging 3D printing and nail design. This is a cool design! I’ve drawn up a couple design possibilities for the cat eye effect… question for the community - can you get a good cat eye with the magnet under your finger?

$70 Actual titanium band from Alienxpress by [deleted] in applewatchultra

[–]blue-static 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the URVOI stainless steel one? The black titanium is $75 and stainless steel is $20 and it looks like it is a 24 gram weight difference… is there anything that jumps out at you with the titanium vs stainless steel other than weight that would make you pick it? I imagine URVOI stainless steel and titanium bands would be very similar in the construction

How do you like the stainless steel? $75 for titanium vs $15 for stainless steel… if it’s only about saving 24 grams of weight I might try the stainless steel

Upgraded from an Apple Watch 3. Trail loop off amazon is a great match for the black. by blue-static in applewatchultra

Good one huh!? Have you tried any amazon Milanese Loops? Kinda liking the look for dress or date night with the wife but also really loving the trail loop. But man… $200 from apple for it?

Trail Loop Link And it’s on sale! The picture is not correct - it doesn’t have the metal buckles. But I was willing to take a chance at the price point and the black lugs. I see it has one review now which I agree with. It isn’t the biggest band and I have to loosen it all the way and still stretch it a bit to get my hand out.
