Hello, I have an aruco marker of about 0.15 m, but I don't feel like it has enough padding. Look like this:

The issue I have is that I'm using a png as the texture and had to go through a lot of effort to scale the marker so that the black marker excluding the padding was 0.15m. I tried taking some inspiration from this sdf file (https://github.com/joselusl/aruco_gazebo/blob/master/aruco_visual_marker_0/model.sdf) to add some padding, but since my turtlebot is moving and the padding is attached to the marker, it caused some issues with the physics.

Wondering how I could add padding while making sure that the black marker remains at 0.15m. Adding my marker model file.
