Place is called Mats by Mars and the bases are Stick to Basics Base Inserts.

I emailed them to get the diameter of the stickers. Being designed to fit inside the rim of the rounded lip bases, they may be a bit smaller than the Impact or Cavalier stickers. Alex, the owner, is going to check and get back to me. I'll post his response.

Cool. It would be cool if they work out.
|
Here's his response:
"Looks like just about 23mm on the top of the base. What does the top of the Impact base measure?"
With the slight bevel on the side, I'm guessing it's 28mm or 29mm on top. I'm at work. Can anyone online measure an Impact base and post the top dimension? If not, I'll measure when I get home tonight.
|
I measured the one base I have left and it was right around 28mm.
|
Yeah, I just got home and measured one, and you are correct, they are 28mm on top. The stickers from Impact are 1", or 25.4mm, which leaves just over 1mm of "border" around the sticker. The Mats by Mars stickers would leave about twice that much. Not terrible, but not ideal. I'm passing this info along to them. Who knows, maybe they would be able to make some stickers that would work better.

Just got a response from Alex:
"What does your timeline look like? We're going to be at adepticon next week and can actually get some impact stuff to make some perfectly sized ones. They wouldn't be ready for 2 weeks or so from now; as we get back that monday."
Sounds promising!

I just wanted to give you an update that we did snag some Impact bases at Adepticon (along with a lot more) and hope to push out the updated sizes within the month (hopefully weeks).

Cool. I wasn't impressed with their mats, as I prefer the neoprene ( and hope to get some at some point ). But the bases could be neat.
