Bougie Coaster (MMU)

I got tired of the better half's sanitized happy-go-lucky home decor that said things like “live laugh love” and mugs that had just one word like “coffee.” printed on them in a fancy font, so I made a coaster that was more to my liking. :)

Print

• No supports
• Printed with COEX Black PLA for the graphics and Gizmodorks Wood PLA for the rest of the coaster
• 0.3mm layer height
• 0.4mm nozzle

Instructions

1. Download both the bougie_coaster_inlay.stl and bougie_coaster_outer.stl files
2. Place the models in your slicer with the top side down (so the words touch the plate)
3. Align the models so the graphics of bougie_coaster_inlay.stl fits within the recessed design of the bougie_coaster_outer.stl file
4. Enable a purge tower in your slicer and preview the GCODE to ensure a filament/tool swap is present
5. Export the GCODE
6. Print the model
   • If using a single extruder printer
     1. Open the exported GCODE file with your favorite text editor
     2. Modify the tool change code to pause the print using the M0 command
     3. Start the print
     4. When your printer pauses, swap your filament
     5. Resume the print
   • If using a multi material printer
     1. Print the model per your slicer's settings
7. If printing the outer coaster in wood PLA, brush on a stain in your favorite color
