Hello Beginner here(most people get annyoed by noobies, Im sorry for being stupid).

Whenever I have a question in mind, the answer is: "It depends on what you wanna do".
So, I set a 3d printing goal, which hopefully helps to make decisions in this direction. (I appreciate your help and critics).

Lets start with the goal:

I wanna print small 3d obecjts with a magnet embed inside. Kinda like in this Video.

More info on the goal:

Size: roughly around the dimensions, 0.5cmX0.5cmX0.5cm or 0.2inchX0.2inchX0.2inch.

Shapes: like small cuboids, and half balls., with concave and convex properties(arched inwards and outwards), and having the magnet inside.


Printing time doesn't matter to me, if it gets Job done im happy.

Unrealistic wishful excpectations:

- to have this as neat and high quality looking as it can be
- to a low price around 420$
- to have it print as many as possible
- to have it as easy as it can be without many tinkering always needed.

Thanks for helping me setting this up.

I see no problem printing a base inserting the magnet then continuing printing to finish the model.

Now I have never done this, I have done similar models where I changed filament at a given height.
This is the same only differences is inserting or dropping in the magnets.
I would start a bunch of them say 10 or twenty, then using pause at height drop in the magnets and continue.
Of course this would only begin after proving that I could actually successfully do the single model.

I still have not tried to 3D Print this 9 Color Cat
