Magnetic Corellian Sector map

People have been looking for a reusable solution for the Corellian conflict and Here are some pics of my solution:

You can buy a 24x18 picture frame from michaels for $20, and you can get a 16x36 piece of ductwork (which is maagnetic) for another $6.

Cut the ductwork to 16x24, and it will cover all of the relevant area.

There's a lot of material in the way, so use some rare earth magnets, which luckily have really come down in price:

Here's a link to 200 of them for $4, which is actually a lot cheaper than I expected what?

I intended to do something like that with mine too

Finished Results using plastic washers, (there's some rubber experiments on the back that didn't work out)

Have a link for the type of washer used, too? Seems like thickness of the magnet vs thickness of the washer would be important to match up, too, no?

True.

I can't find the exact washer online, but it's at any ace hardware. The part number ends in J.

Awesome man. Great way to make the conflict "replayable."
