Magnetic bases for standard 28/32 mm tabletop miniature models
About • Download • Instructions • FAQs • Credits • License
Plain tabletop miniature bases with smooth edges and a cylindrical cutout on the bottom for cylinder magnets.
Meant to be used as a replacement for original mini bases which:
- either have no magnet cut out
- and/or look ugly.
- compatible with my magnetic Number Token Bases
- compatible with my customizable Mini Boxes
- Use your slicer software to cut away the original base of your miniature model
- Add the appropriate magnetic mini base to your 3D model, or
- alternatively print the miniature and the corresponding base separately and glue your mini to the base.
- Remove the old base with the cut tool (use 2.50 mm for medium mz4250 models)
- Add the new base as "part"
- Drop both the model and the base to the print bed
- Raise the model by 2.5 mm (= the height of the new base)
- Center align the model if necessary

Question: What size are the magnets on the bottom of these bases?
Answer: Axially magnetized cylinder magnets with a diameter of 5 mm (~ 2/10") and thickness of 1 mm (~ 1/32" - 1/24").
