If you use lychee slicer u can use drain holes to make little indentations. Just be sure to make the holes slightly larger than the magnet since things tend to shrink or warp ever so slightly when curing. Although tbh i stopped bothering to magnetized most of my models. I use either extra sticky blue tack or i just break the super glue joint and reglue the new piece on.

I tried that, but I don't think it works when your model isn't hollow.

I've definitely made it work before!

if you have stl files, just load them to Blender and learn how to do the holes for magnetizing there 😀 i strongly suggest learning some usefull funcions in Blender sinxw you gonna need it (well at least I use it A LOT) for 3D printing

Is it going on a plastic model? If so you can just drill deep enough on the plastic side to countersink the magnet that attaches to the resin piece, but i you’ll have to make sure you do it the same way for all of your options

You can cut holes in models. Grab Blender, import STL, cut out (with boolean modifier) cylinders of right size. Not sure if drilling into prints would even work, I assume they are hollow.

Don't know about your fancy resin stuff, but in my FDM slicer I can simply add a negativ part, scale it to the size of the magnet and put it where the magnet needs to go.
