Everydays 007 v2 – Poppy Coaster

Building on today’s first Everydays project, this version transforms the chain-linked fabric grid into a decorative coaster inspired by the shape of a poppy flower. The interlinked segments form soft petals that flex slightly under pressure, giving it both structure and a touch of movement.

It’s sturdy enough to hold cups or mugs, yet flexible enough to feel dynamic and organic. The print is quick, needs no supports, and is a fun experiment in turning a flexible pattern into a functional everyday object.

Part of my Everydays Challenge: designing, modeling, and printing something new each day to grow as a designer and push creative boundaries.

🖨 Print Instructions

To print, import the two models into the slicer and use the Poppy Coaster Decoration file as a part of the Poppy Coaster file. 

Don't worry if the layout looks strange in the preview. Just make sure the sliced model looks correct! If you are unsure about these steps, please use the .3mf (Everydays 007 - Poppy Coaster Assembled) file. It has everything already assembled inside :)

Just make sure to print the different parts in different colours.
