Overview

Do you draw a cloud architecture diagrams on a whiteboard and are you a lousy painter as me?

I wanted to speed up my work and make it more readable - so I have designed my custom magnets of mostly used Azure services and printed them on a 3D printer. Now, when you design an architecture diagram on a whiteboard, it’s easier and nobody complains about my painting skill.

All models are in STL format, ready to be printed with multi-material 3D printer (like Prusa MMU2S) - originally designed in OpenSCAD.

In _print_exports/ folder are optimized ready-to print .3mf projects.

Do you prefer AWS over Azure? No problem, check out the AWS version.

BOM

• PLA filaments, the easiest icon requires 3 colors: white, black, azure
• for every icon you need 2pcs of neodymium magnets 5x2mm (Aliexpress link)

• Infill: 15%

Assembly instructions

1. print icons on 3D printer
2. prepare neodymium magnets, glue
3. check magnets sides - in case you want to stock magnets, check you glue magnets in same pole in every icon
4. glue magnets into holes
