One of the magnets is of the Ukrainian Flag and the other is the outline of Ukraine. There are holes for two ~12mm diameter x ~1.75mm thick neodymium magnets (available on Amazon) to be put inside during the print. 

I used a trick in PrusaSlicer to print more than one color on a single layer to capture the colors of the flag. This can be achieved with just a standard Prusa printer (no MMU required). If you want to learn about how to use that trick, I recently wrote an article about it on my website. Otherwise, I have included gcode for both designs that already has the color swapping programmed in for a 0.6mm nozzle diameter. 

Instructions for both gcode files:

  1. The printer will do the typical warmup and calibration sequence. 
  2. After the nozzle wipe, it will ask you to unload whatever filament is currently loaded. Insert your yellow filament at this time. A single skirt line will be drawn in yellow to prime the nozzle. 
  3. After the yellow is complete it will ask you to unload the filament again. This time load in the blue to complete the rest of the first layer. A second skirt line will be drawn in yellow to prime the nozzle. 
  4. At the end of the first layer it will ask you to change the filament again. Load your background color. White or another light color works best. 
  5. After the holes for the magnets are complete, it will ask you to unload the filament again. Use this pause to put in your magnets, making sure they are pushed all the way into the holes. Reload the filament and the last two layers will enclose the magnets. 

The Ukraine map version is a remix of thing 11216 on Thingiverse (a Europe map puzzle from 2011).
