Curved Wedge Rail Hold Down

An additional idea for securing minis via the rail system of non-standard sizes could be curved wedge hold downs. Making use of the wedge shape from some of the angled nuts, the curve could be inverted to wrap around the edge of a mini in about roughly a 1/4 circle shape or less. With, in my case, 28.5mm bases, they're just wide enough that they don't allow for easily sandwiching the mini between two hold downs -- normally, from what I've seen, one of the 15mm hold downs is needed at least. This could potentially free up more of the rails for use by removing the need to use a 15mm hold down, since even with a base of such size partially blocking one of the rail slots, a wedge hold down could simply be slotted against the outer edge of the base. Said wedge could likely be further secured by the existing screw post system.

Magnetic Rail Posts

So I just printed a rail shelf along with some hold downs, screw posts and nuts, and was finding I kept knocking the minis as I was trying to twist down and untwist the nuts to hold the minis in place. I was wondering if it might be possible to take the idea of the screw post, and edit it such that instead of being a screw, it's either a low clearance flat disc for affixing a magnet disc, or a little socket capable of having a 5x1mm or so neodymium magnet glued in. The hold downs can still be used, and would keep the minis from shaking loose when being transported, but instead of having to unscrew a nut to free minis that are secured, the magnet rails can act as more of a quick release system. This has the added benefit of acting as an additional way to secure minis with non-standard bases, such as 28.5mm bases.
