Ajax drink-coaster

pinshape

This is a drink-coaster with the original Ajax logo. It's for a friend. If you enjoy this model, be sure to post a picture of your make! Love soccer; not violence! Use this coaster to house your favorite drink. This is a standard size coaster (100 by 100 by 5 mm), to fit in my coasterholder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3130397 I have printed this model with Ultimaker white PLA. I used 0.2mm layer height and, 18% infill. I used a 0.4mm nozzle with my extruder at 210 degrees Celsius. I used a heated bed. To avoid the curling up at the bottom, I used a brim. Don't hesitate to use your own configuration...no worries! I picked a logo from my browser and have put it in svg format in inktscape. Opened the svg file in blender and made it a 3D object. In meshmixer I have repaired the file; and erased some aspects. In meshmixer I have also added a coaster. Then, I have merged the coaster with the picture after scaling the picture. Saved it as a STL file and sliced it for printing. Because the model has still some issues even after repairing it in meshmixer; I decided to export it into Netfabb Online Service. This is an app I discovered recently after using MakePrintable. Because MakePrintable in my opinion only gives us 3 procedures of fixing an STL file and, with Netfabb Online Service the frequency of STL fix procedures is unlimited, my choice was clear. It worked well for me and I could slice the model without any problems. If you would like to know how I design a 2D picture (google) into a 3D model.
