This is a decorative 5-cornered bowl which can be made flat for storage.

It is a print-in-place model that requres no assembly other then glueing in some magnets. The model has very tight tolerances so make sure your printer is well calibrated.

Other than the printed part you require ten magnets with a diameter of 8mm and a depth of 3mm.

I included the FreeCAD model. Feel free to modify the file to your needs. There is a spreadsheet in the file called «dim» in which you can modify most dimensions. You can easily change the diameter and depth of the magnets, the clearances between the parts (if your printer isn’t so well calibrated and requires larger tolerances), and the thickness of the bowl. 

You can also modify the size of the bowl with a cell in the spreadsheet, but do so in small increments as the FreeCAD solver is prone to break things if you change the size too much.
