Discovered Design Flaw
I guess this is likely an unexpected design flaw but the part cooling fan can be stopped by a strong enough magnetic field. This is no issue on little or weak magnets but with a larger magnet, I can't get through a print. I guess I'll have to print this on my mini+ or glue the magnets in afterword.

Not exactly unexpected, Michael Faraday explained it in about 1850 - if you interfere with the magnetic field in an electromagnetic device (fan motor) you disrupt the function.

Yeah, it makes sense. It was just unexpected. I've printed plenty of things where I drop in magnets without issue. This new design just caused this issue and I wanted to share.
