Design Exploration
About 10 years ago, I designed a coaster and produced hundreds in my woodshop out of walnut and maple. I wanted to produce a 3D printed version that could both be customized and less bulky (original wood coaster was ~8mm). A thin wood version would warp due to the movement in the natural material. I live in a very humid climate, so cool glasses and cans often leave puddles around them. The wood coaster excelled in aesthetic, but the functionality of liquid management could be improved upon with an alternate material.
I designed a thinner version (4mm) that could be printed without a top layer to highlight the many creative fill patterns available in PrusaSlicer (and others). The texture of the infill allows moisture to move into the coaster. The thinner profile also allow for the coasters to be stored easily and printed quickly. I created 8 print files with infill patterns I enjoy, which range from 34-45 minutes to print a single coaster on my MK4. This time can more than likely be improved upon, with most of the print time being spent on the first few solid layers. The coasters use 11-14g of filament each depending on infill.
Download the model and have fun with all the combinations of fill pattern and density!
I have also created 2 separate holders that will help to organize the coasters when not in use.
- Squircle Coaster Holder (holds 4 coasters)
- Squircle Coaster Holder Tall (holds 8 coasters)
Print Settings
I have added print files below for the 10 coasters in the images above. If you want to make your own designs, I used the following settings:
- Layer Height/Quality: 020" Speed
- Material: PETG (did not test additional materials, all should work)
- Infill: Choose your own adventure! Vary the infill pattern and density for unique designs.
- Perimeters: 2
- Top Solid Layer: 0
- Bottom Solid Layer: 4
Printer: Prusa MK4
Alternative Design
These can also be printed without a bottom layer to give an alternative aesthetic. The only caveat, this will allow moisture to seep down the infill and onto the table surface, so it is not advised if you want to prevent moisture from reaching your table.
