This is an alternative base for the new OpenForge 2.0 tiles.

Devon Jones says we can design our own bases for his new stone cut tiles as long as each base is 25mm x 25mm and 6mm tall.
So here is a base meeting those requirements as an alternative to the magnet bases. Just hot glue up to two pennies per hole and enjoy the extra weight and stability -- even just 4 pennies helps significantly.
This 2x2 base weights 8 grams with 20% infill, without any pennies. Each penny weighs 2.5 grams. So 4 pennies adds 10 grams of weight and 8 pennies adds 20 grams of weight. So this base with 8 pennies would add 28 grams of mass to a 2x2 tile. With this added weight, they'll feel like the heavy Dwarven Forge tiles.
I haven't printed this yet but it should work fine. How about try printing one to see how it lines up. Try using variable amount of pennies in the hole to have the tile your desired weight. Once I get some feedback on these, I'
