In this tutorial, we will 3D print a functional, custom Wi-Fi QR code magnet for your home. Instead of digging through drawers for your password or playing "IT support" every time a guest visits, you can stick this right on your refrigerator so friends and family can scan and connect instantly.
This project uses a customizable MakerWorld template and goes beyond a basic print—I’ll show you how to embed a magnet directly inside the print using a "pause at layer" command in Bambu Studio. We’ll cover everything from generating your unique QR code STL to color painting by height for that perfect high-contrast look.
Whether you are a woman in STEM, a 3D printing enthusiast, or just looking to level up your smart home, this DIY project is a practical and stylish way to show off your tech skills.
