This is a print in place fridge magnet I made for my daughter to play with. It should print in one piece, and once you remove the supports, it should spin freely. I had to use a little sandpaper to get enough clearance to really get it to spin, but it seemed to work.
This is designed to embed a small magnet in the based on the piece, roughly 5mm diameter by 3mm thick. I set my printer to pause at the correct layer height so the magnet hole was still open, and I could place a magnet inside. After that, I had the printer resume, and it printed over the top of the magnet, sealing it in.
