Hornet Magnets

A collection of poses turned into magnetic pieces through 3D design and multicolour printing.

Original design Multicolour printing Bambu Lab A1

The complete process

A collection designed pose by pose

See how I prepare each silhouette, separate the colours and turn the collection into magnets.

What makes them special

Movement turned into a collection

Each pose works as a standalone piece and also as part of the collection.

For each pose, I pay attention to thickness, support and the joins between colours so Hornet is recognisable even in a small piece. I work on the poses separately to refine those details.

I print them directly in several colours and place the magnet on the back. They need no paint, and the front retains the character's full silhouette.
