A cup that holds a disc magnet flush with its top, on a tab with a screw hole: a catch for a cabinet door, a knife or tool holder, a mount for a lid. The magnet is pressed in and needs no glue.
Measure the magnet; sold sizes are often a tenth or two off. The press-fit clearance is added to the pocket's radius: 0.1 to 0.15 mm makes a press fit in PLA, 0.25 mm a fit that needs a drop of glue, and a small negative value a fit for a hammer. The floor under the magnet is thin on purpose, so the magnet's pull goes through it; 0.6 mm is three layers.
Print it flat, pocket up. When the magnet has to sit under the surface, pause the print at the layer above the pocket and drop it in.
