Cat Coasters 04

thingiverse

Introducing cat coaster sets 13 to 16, based on plane groups including p3, p31m, p3m1, and p6. These groups feature three-fold rotation axes, with p6 additionally having six-fold rotation symmetry. While p3 and p6 exhibit rotational symmetry alone, p3m1 and p31m incorporate combinations of reflection lines (marked red) and glide lines (marked blue). To accompany the coasters, stl files for dual extrusion are provided: cat_coasters_p3, cat_decorations_p3; cat_coasters_p31m, cat_decorations_p31m; cat_coasters_p3m1, cat_decorations_p3m1; and cat_coasters_p6, cat_decorations_p6. The coaster files were created by cat_coasters_04_scad, and the images are contained within coasters_dxf_04.zip. Print each 110mm-diameter coaster directly on the build surface; with 1 shell and 10% infill, expect printing to take approximately two hours. The coasters serve as valuable educational tools, and symmetry elements are further explained in included pdf files within coasters_dxf_04.zip.
