Ball and Socket with Magnet Mount

I rebuilt the design from scratch and replaced the original base with a new foundation for the female portion, incorporating custom carve outs to accommodate two powerful neodymium magnets. After finalizing the design, I sent it to the slicer and programmed a pause in the gcode at a strategic point where I could manually insert the magnets into place. Once resumed, the printer seamlessly integrated the magnets into the part, effectively creating a sturdy articulating joint that enables me to attach a mirror magnetically to the shelf above my workspace.
