This is a simple remix of Flexible Octopus by DiabaseEngineer (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:159217). Thanks for sharing.

The only difference is I wanted to make it a fridge magnet.
So I have added a recess in the underside for a 15mm diameter x 3mm high magnet.

I did this by importing the design into Fusion 360 to create the recess and export the STL.

I know it looks a little rough. . . a lot rough on the legs. I am sure I could clean it up or improve the print settings, but it is a novelty for me so I left it the way it is.

I glued the magnet in place to hold it, with a "Selleys" brand "All Plastic Fix" glue. This comes with a primer and I find it works well, even on the flexible PLA.
