I am about to buy the AS5600 magnetic encoder which costs only £3- £4. The problem is I need to attach that to a brushless motor however most brushless motors do not have a shaft that comes out both ways, which would allow me to 3d print an attachment and mount my magnet on to. I don’t want to open the motor to get the job done so I’m wondering if anyone knows an easy fix to my problem.

Brushless motor I’m thinking of buying as it has a two way shaft:
Hi,
those two motors you’ve linked us, are not comparable. The second is much bigger and is most probably not suitable for gimbal/encoder-setups.
The first motor has no option to mount the magnet ring on the back of the motor. Maybe you can extend the shaft of the housing? (replace the screw nut with a cylindric magnet-holder?)
A bit late to give feedback, but just in case you’re still watching this thread - consider a simple pair of spur gears, where one connects to the output shaft, while the other is fixed to a second shaft which has the magnet:
