When a cardboard base plate under metal spikes would pose a fire hazard, you can position magnetic spikes where they’re needed:

The 12 mm neodymium magnet is slightly larger than a single honeycomb cell, so it wants to center itself atop a cell. The stainless steel button head screw sits in the magnet’s countersunk hole and protrudes just enough to make sure the spike doesn’t slide sideways unless you want it to:

A cloud of combustible gas doesn’t pose a threat under there:

The thin red beam comes from the targeting laser on the back of the nozzle.
Storage is easy: just smush a handful of the things against the side of the laser cabinet:

Buy all the parts in lots of 100 to have supplies for other adventures!

[…] A bit of tinkering suggested I needed a way to repeatably position stock sheets on the honeycomb, so I conjured stops that would be slightly taller than the magnetic spikes: […]
