I like to base my 15mm infantry on 12.5mm (½ inch) steel washers so that I can store and transport them safely on magnetic sheet. However, I don't like the big hole in the middle of the washer.
I've come up with what I think is a good solution: I 3d print a shroud for the washer on my old Ender 3. It gives me a flat top to the base, and it only increases the base diameter to about 14mm, and increases its thickness by 0.4mm. I can print an array of 25 of them in about quarter of an hour.
I use 3d-printed sabot bases to ease mass-movement, and so that the minis don't just fall out due to my clumsiness, I put magnets in little sockets in the bottom of the big sockets.
The magnet sockets are for up to 6x1mm magnets, and the whole sabot base is 3mm thick, with the sides slightly undercut to make them easier to pick up. They're thicker than I would like for WWII games, but I'll live with it to avoid having to move a bajillion 15mm figures individually.
