The can bottom is cut off about 8-10mm from the edge where it starts to curve to the circular 'foot'. It may take a while to find a way to do this that suits your tools. beware that the edges can be very sharp, gloves are a good idea. My method:
- Cut the end off roughly using a knife.
- Use a woodworking marking gauge to scribe a line around the outside of the can
- Use metal snips to cut the end off.
The can bottom should then push into the slot in the print.
If you want a magnet then a 10mm x 3mm should push into the recess. You may have to heat the plastic a bit, or sand the recess out a bit as the magnets vary a bit in size. Or find one that fits, which is what I did.
The can bottom can be removed if you want to by prising it out with a knife, carefully round the edges.
