Still, one problem that you might encounter though, is that the bottom hexagonal faces might be slightly unaligned vertically, from their top counterparts. If that happens, or is too noticeable for your tastes, I'd suggest doing the magnet operation then selecting the top faces only and doing a clean Y axis shell extrude; this new object will have perfectly aligned top/bottom hexs.
