Cura drinkcoaster set

Since I owned my first 3D printer (Velleman K8200 kit), I've been relying on Cura. If you believe it or not, the software made my 3D printer run significantly smoother than the older program I was using for slicing. I was using Repetier for my printer at that time because that was the program going hand in hand with my printer. Now, I highly recommend all of you to use Cura for your 3D printer. If your printer is not on the default list (K8200 wasn't), you can easily make it a custom. You simply need to put some details about your 3D printer's specs into the Cura program. Something that I waited far too long to do before taking action because I thought I couldn't do it. So after four months, I decided to try it and it was surprisingly easy. I edited my bed size, nozzle diameter, extruder temperature, and copied the start and end G-code in the settings. I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing since I couldn't find a lot of documentation on how to do it, but I thought simply: my x-y-z-endstops would prevent the worst. I was a beginner who was still learning. I haven't printed these models yet, but I have previewed them in my slicer (something I highly recommend doing first before starting your print). And I've seen no problems with the detail. Print it with a single or multiple colors, with filament or resin... and show me what you guys have created from it (if you don't want to post a picture of your print, that's perfectly fine). Use this coaster to house your favorite drink. This is a standard-sized coaster (100 by 100 by 5 mm), designed to fit in my coaster holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3130397 Best regards, IdeaLab Design process: I picked a logo from my browser and converted it into SVG format using Inkscape. I then opened the SVG file in Blender and made it a 3D object. In Meshmixer, I repaired the file and erased some parts. I also added a coaster to the model and merged it with the picture after scaling the image. For the negative model, I used 123Design to subtract the file from a drink coaster. I saved it as an STL file and sliced it for printing. Since the model still had some issues even after repairing it in Meshmixer, I decided to export it into Netfabb Online Service. This is an app that I discovered recently after using MakePrintable. Since MakePrintable only offers three procedures for fixing an STL file, my choice was clear. It worked well for me and I could slice the model without any problems.
