A friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer late last year. Fortunately it looks like she is going to make a full recovery. In support of her I made these coasters. Originally her name was at the bottom, but I removed it from these files. I figured other names could be put in place using the text tool available in most slicers. 

Every letter, image, etc is a separate object so you can change colors to what you want. I did group them by a prefix such as WH for white, GR for green, etc. so assigning extruders to the groups is easy.

This is 3mm thick. The first 0.6 mm is where the objects are created. The bottom 0.6 mm is where I switch over to TPU to soften the coaster so it doesn't scratch the tables. The middle is just filler to add weight to the coaster. I usually print 100% infill so the coaster has some weight to it.

Recommend: Printing face down and on the textured sheet. Go slow the first layer and start with the lightest colors first and progress to the darkest. Once the first 0.6 is done printing you can switch to the TPU for the bottom - just choose your extruder you setup in the slicer. I typically will use extruder 5 for the dark color (text in this print) and when that is finished printing I swap it with the TPU.
