Magnet base for 3D Catan pieces with 2x5mm cylindrical magnets

I appreciated Neuport's concept, but the cost of those magnets is simply too high. Found identical alternatives that sell for a mere 0.06 dollars each from a Chinese vendor on Aliexpress. Although smaller in size, they hold remarkably well. The magnets are diametrically polarized and measure two millimeters by five millimeters in dimensions. To ensure proper alignment, it's crucial that they rotate freely to snap into place easily in various orientations, as illustrated in the accompanying images above. For those seeking a direct link for purchasing these magnets directly, I've edited my previous response with relevant information: kindly inquire with this seller - http://www.aliexpress.com/store/138353 - for radially magnetized two millimeter by five millimeter magnets, and they will promptly provide them to you. Following numerous requests, I've uploaded additional files with border details. For simplicity's sake, I combined the base plate with Jawn's borders. You may need to insert magnets at the middle print point if desired. Separate bases have also been included for users who prefer gluing them instead.
