I designed this butterfly coaster to use with transparent filaments.

There are four (4) layers of colors, allowing you to mix your own combination of colors using transparent filaments.

You can personalize it by added recessed text into the top of the coaster to expose the layers beneath. 

At 100% scale, the total height of the coaster is 4.4mm, and the height/width measures 100mm. The height of the surface of the coaster at 3.0mm.

 
Layer Height Descriptions (from bottom layer to top layer):
  • layer 1: 1.0mm height, ranges from layer 0mm to layer 1.0mm
  • layer 2: 0.8mm height, ranges from layer 1.0mm to 1.8mm
  • layer 3: 0.8mm height, ranges from layer 1.8mm to 2.6mm
  • layer 4: 0.4mm height, ranges from layer 2.6mm to 3.0mm
 
Personalization

Depending on the slicer program you use, there might be options to either cut out space for text on surfaces, or to create text on surfaces and then change the text to a “negative” text to create a recessed space into the print.

Assuming 100% scale with 3.0mm surface height of layer four (4), to show colors from a certain layer, you need to create recessed text of the following height:

  • layer 1: -2.0mm from the surface
  • layer 2:  -1.2mm from the surface
  • layer 3: -0.4mm from the surface
