How To Use 3D Printers to Advertise on a Cybertruck 😄

[Leo Snow]

I had one stainless-steel Cybertruck, forty neodymium magnets, six 3D printers, fifty kilograms of PLA filament, and a whole galaxy of stupid ideas, Fusion 360 and other CADs, STL files, and one free garage for experiments... and also way too much free time, a few liters of isopropyl alcohol and two dozen spare 3D printing nozzles.

In short, that was just an experiment. I had a 3D printer, spare magnets, and the Cybertruck, and I suddenly got an idea: I can combine these things together and advertise my company on it. I am not a huge fan of advertising on a wrap: if anything, it's not easy to remove and re-apply, but with magnets? Easy. Also, I've never seen it on YouTube before, so here's my video. Don't judge me too much



Some photos, but better watch a video - maybe you'll make something better

Very clever. You may be on to something.

Well, It was fun Besides that, I really think it's more useful than a wrap if the logo doesn't need to be all over the truck.

Hey Leo,

Just a suggestion, ive made a few magnetic 3d printed things for the CT (like the glow in the dark beast logo i posted earlier). Bury the magnets in epoxy for a longer term solution to covering them with tape. It'll water proof them, prevent them from pulling out of the print if its hot outside and if you dont have some kind of barrier (if your tape falls off) it'll start to rust. The epoxy doesn't really effect the magnet strength.

I was thinking actually about something similar. I was thinking about a hot glue though. The only problem is that when you print something relatively large, you want to prevent it from slipping down. That's why I used electrical tape instead, because it has better grip than resin or even hot glue. Maybe I just overthought it, I'll test it with other materials, maybe I'll try a multi-material print on my H2D, I'm thinking about PETG+foaming TPU..

This is cool. I like the bare stainless and this lets you change it out plus do a complete wash underneath the stuff once in a while.

I haven't had any issues with it slipping using epoxy, the magnets I used looked bigger than the ones you applied though. I always use petg for outdoor stuff. What would be cool is if you can border it in glow in the dark filament so u have some visibility at night. I did that with my beast logo and it looks awesome when charged.
