I liked the original model that I remixed from, but I have 8mm magnets and the original designed used something smaller.

My magnets measure about 8mm x 2.7mm. I've tried to not cut tolerances too tight. I believe I am using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DD61G2F

here, the silver is just a filament change at (about) the right place. I may redesign this so the badge is two (or more) parts so you print silver and a gold separately (similar to the use of inlays in my in my Klingon Badge).

Export of Fusion 360 project included.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Prusa

Printer:

i3 MK3

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

0.2mm

Infill:

15%

Filament: CC3D and Hatchbox PLA, 1.75 Silk Silver (CC3D) and Gold (Hatchbox)


Notes:

The bottom of the Com Badge part has a recess for the battery. I used supports to assist with this although probably this isn't necessary for most printers.

I placed a color change at about 7mm height, the first layer above the rounded part. This enabled the top of the badge to be silver.

Post-Printing

Use CA glue to affix the magnets, if necessary.

How I Designed This

Brought the original model's .SKP file into Fusion 360. Created BREPs from the Meshs. Cleaned up the models a touch. Filled in the existing magnet recesses. Created my own magnet recesses. Exported as .STL.

I've included my Fusion 360 export.
