PTSD TMNT coaster

A note on whether the print is appropriate

In short: it really depends. Context and intention matter. Err on the side of caution, though. Marked NSFW for this reason.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is something to be taken seriously, especially by those lucky enough to not suffer from it. Do not give this away as a funny gift or whatever, if you are not one hundred percent, absolutely, without a doubt certain that the recipient will take it well. 

My own PTSD is manageable nowadays. I don't get flashbacks that often and when I do, I'm pretty good at realising what's going on, making it (not trivial, but) possible to snap out of them, as it were. This is after years of active management and excruciating therapeutic treatment, which I honestly wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. When I saw this mix of definitely-not-a-joke and lol I know that song from the silly ninja show spat out by a bot crawling wikipedia, it made me laugh out loud.

Sometimes the only reasonable way to get over the persisting horrors is to get a chuckle out of the absurdity of this world in which we all live. Take it or leave it, thanks for checking it out!

So there's this bot

The bot @wiki_tmnt on X dot com, the everything app crawls wikipedia for articles that have titles matching the number of syllables of the phrase "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", you know how the song goes. It posts images like the one I recreated for this 3D model. That's basically all there is to this. It's nonsensical gobbledygook and I love it.

Print the coaster and put drinks on it! I don't have any green filament on hand so I haven't tested the print yet, but the settings have worked fine for similar coasters.

Print settings
 

*Other settings will probably work just as well or better, you know your own printer best, but I have included my settings in the provided print profiles (the .3mf files).

Printed in PLA, 0.4mm nozzle, ironing top surface, otherwise pretty standard settings should do just fine.
