I was actually planning on cutting up business card magnets and gluing them to the back so I don't need a recessed hole. :-D Gonna print one in red and one in glow in the dark
I've uploaded a second version (V2) that fits what you wanted :).
One problem I saw though, is that the left pupil is going to be fairly thin, and might get damaged during printing. The reason I made is so thick in the first place was to cover up the magnet before it got to the pupils, for both strength and aesthetic reasons.
Also, if you're using the same size
magnets as me, the magnet will show up in the eye region, making the eye black (or whatever your magnet colour is) instead of white. If you're not using the same size, send me the dimensions of it, and I'll design it so it fits better :).
I'd love to see pictures of your prints of both this one an
d the space invader btw :-P.

Instructions
If you want the eye effect, print in white, and then swap filaments when the last layer before the eyes begins.
Print the rest in red if you want to stay true to Blinky's original colour.

think you could make one that has the eye holes go all the way through and slightly less thick? This would look great next to my space invader on my fridge...
ya for sure! do you want it the same thickness as the space invader? and should i leave the pupils, or do you want them completely empty?
