This file is ready to print on a Bambu Lab A1. May require minor adjustments for other printers.

An adjustable bracket system with magnetic arms that allows you to label xylophone bars with solfege or note names. This mounting system creates a “personal wall that teaches” right at the instrument.

Features

  • Movable magnetic arms for different xylophone sizes
  • Holds solfege or note name tiles
  • Works with many xylophones
  • Can be used for pentatonic scale highlighting or full diatonic labeling
  • Includes magnetic clipboard attachment for sheet music

Printing Information

  • Printer: Designed for Bambu Lab A1
  • Filament: PLA
  • Large Magnet inserts: 30x10x3mm magnets
  • Small Magnet inserts: 20x5x2mm magnets

Assembly

You will need:

  • Metal adhesive tape
  • Small neodymium magnets (for the arms and clipboard)
  • Labels (can be printed

Tips

Check the polarity of your magnet you inserting them. Make sure that whichever way you choose for your first print, that all subsequent prints insert magnets in the same magnetic orientation.

The magnets in the arms are oriented vertically (you insert them and push them down). However, this step has failed on printers using a hardened steel nozzle. When inserting magnets, the build surface is usually why the magnets won’t leave the print. However, with the orientation in combination with the addition of the hardened steel nozzle, I have observed print failures directly after inserting the magnet pauses. use the standard stainless steel nozzle included with your printer to avoid this problem. This problem occured on my A1 mini.
