Magnetic clear acrylic flight stands

I really didn't like the flight stands that came with these Batman drones, so I bought some magnetic clear acrylic ones from Back 2 Base-ix in Adelaide.
Before and after comparisons

I chopped off the existing bases and drilled a small depression using a 7/64" bit on my Dremel. I superglued the round magnets in place after checking the alignment.
Chop and drill...

... and superglue magnets.

I assembled the flight stands using plastic cement, and superglue to hold the cube magnet. I thought about painting and texturing the bases, but have held off so far- opinions gladly received!

Drones with manipulator arms

I like that they come in two heights- 33 and 45mm. I can detach the drones and use the bases for other magnetised flying things.

My sole gripe is that the bases are 32mm despite being described as 30mm.
