- 5,6mm @ 0,2 layer height

- this model has male (M) and female (W) parts, keep this in mind.
- while printig insert magnets in W parts with mark to the top and in M parts mark to the bottom
- keep at least one marked magnets if u want mark some more
- seals are also available in M+W place W into W and M into M parts
- female (W) is left and male (M) is right on the picture below
