About Custom Polaroid Magnet Generator
This customizable Polaroid frame by migueljeronimoa is one of the most liked photo projects on MakerWorld, with more than 3,300 likes and 1,800 printed makes. It creates a vertical frame that holds several instant-style photos, with slots at the corners for magnets so it can hang on a fridge or any metal surface.
In MakerWorld's online customizer you set how many photos the frame holds and the magnet size, then download an STL or 3MF. There is no image upload involved: you print the frame and slide in your real photos.
It suits anyone who wants a quick, low-cost way to show off a photo strip or holiday snaps, and it is a handy gift to print in batches for friends. You need a MakerWorld account to customize and download, plus a few small round magnets.

Materials and parts that give the best results with Custom Polaroid Magnet Generator.
Matte PLA for signs and Gridfinity

- Bambu Lab PLA MatteWide colour range with AMS-ready RFID, ideal for multi-colour signs.
- Polymaker Panchroma Matte PLA (formerly PolyTerra)The former PolyTerra line under a new name: soft matte look and good value for printing Gridfinity in bulk.
- SUNLU Matte PLALow-cost matte option for large batches of bins and baseplates.
6 x 2 mm magnets for Gridfinity
Gridfinity baseplates and bins are designed around 6 x 2 mm disc magnets pressed into the corners; they hold bins in place but still let you lift one out with one hand.
- Bambu Lab Round Magnet D6x2 mm (20 pcs)Exactly the Gridfinity size, sold in 20-packs, rated to 80 C.
- 6 x 2 mm N52 neodymium disc magnets (bulk pack)Buy 100+ for full baseplates; check the listing really says 6 x 2 mm, as 3 mm-thick magnets will not sit flush.
