3D model description

Compact movement trays for horde-oriented armies. All movement trays have magnet holes for 5x1 mm Circular Neodymium Magnets. I would advise using tape to secure the magnets instead of glue if you want to reuse them for other projects.
I've also made a new type of tray called "Nexus Movement Trays" using magnets to interlink them. However, they are experimental since the 5x1 mm magnets are only strong enough to slide them along instead of picking them up.

The configurations for these trays are as follows:
- "I" Configuration:
-25mm: 4x, 5x, 8x, and 10x
-28 mm: 4x, 5x, 8x, and 10x
-32 mm: 4x, 5x, 8x, and 10x
- 5x "W" Configuration: (NEW)
-25mm, 28mm, & 32mm
-Ringless Variants (25/28)
- "Z" Configuration: (NEW)
-25 mm: 8x & 10x
-28 mm: 8x & 10x
-32 mm: 8x & 10x
-Nexus (Experimental)
-25mm, 28mm, and 32mm

I found that the sweet spot is using several "W" configurations for a standard infantry blob (20 men) because you get more wiggle room to slide the models around all types of ruins. If not, the 10x should suffice. The 8x Configuration is for the standard infantry squad with a heavy weapons base, I did not include an attachment for the heavy weapons base because I would have to account for two sizes, the model was easy to pick up already, and I wanted my movement trays to be used for other armies as well.

Print in 0.2 resolution for the magnets to fit in their slots. If you are having a problem with the trays not sliding smoothly on a mat, apply tape to the bottom. You will usually get this problem if you use a raft for bed adhesion on FDM.

Feel free to share a comment about the design. Feedback is always welcomed.

I noticed more people are downloading the "Cadian Command Tray," which I renamed to "W" configuration. I found these more convenient than the other configurations. So I made a 25mm and a 28mm variant and added another variant called "Z" Configuration in 25mm and 28mm for Tyranid players. I've also created a Ringless variant of the "W" configuration which I will experiment with more magnet sizes in the future.
- MAR/4/2024 -
Added 32mm configurations to the normal movement tray configurations. I excluded making 32mm with 5mm magnet inserts because the bases/models are likely too heavy for the magnets.
- MAR/5/2024 -
Decided to add magnet holes to 32mm anyway, but they can hold four 5x1mm magnets.

Printed with FDM instead of Resin but can be printed for both.
