I like it! We should probably spend some time considering if we could make the text in options more self-documenting though. Preferably without making an essay. Like "Add tab to magnet cutout to aid with pressfit", but with fewer words.
"Add pressfit tabs to sockets" since it's right below the option for adding sockets now?

That's a good point.
I also thought about adding a dropdown for magnet cutout type (None, glue, press fit, custom) then asking for the magnet size instead, we could have the clearance by transparent to the user. I didn't want to make too many changes at once though.
@CuddlyTurtle do you think mentioning "press fit" could be misleading since the users would still be expected to adjust the cutout diameter? The cutout doesn't really have anything to do with press fit, right? It just allows you to remove the magnets if needed.
Well, you are only going to remove them if you haven't glued them, so the connection is there. You are right that this might give the impression that this will magically make the cutout press-fit ready since it's the only place that mentions it.
The UI needs a redesign and perhaps dynamic elements beyond what Fusion can provide to make it more obvious. Something for another pull.

Agreed!
Hi, thanks for taking the time to investigate and implement, this looks interesting, I'll try to take a look hopefully within a couple weeks
looking closer at this, it seems there is an issue when combined with screw holes which will not print well, I think it could be addressed by positioning the tabs differently or by rotating printability feature by 45 degree
Something like this could work
made a few changes adding functionality proposed by this PR, it is available when installing from sources now and will be added into the next version, closing the PR for now
no screws | with screws |

This is a combination of the work done by @CuddlyTurtle on PR #85 and this fork by @software-2. I used the UI changes by @CuddlyTurtle and the cutous by @software-2. Resulting in the following:
