Flower Coasters for Mother's Day

pinshape

I designed a new set of coasters called Citrus Fruit Slice Coaster, which I gave to my mom and sister, but I really wanted one for myself. Since I live in New York and it's springtime, I decided on a flower design that would look great on my furniture. These coasters are made with flexible filament (TPU), which won't scratch your surfaces and is super sturdy and durable. Plus, they're even dishwasher safe. To get a nice-looking top surface, use 50% infill and extra top and bottom layers. Some slicer software allows you to pause the print and switch filaments for that two-color effect, which I achieve with my Cura slicer. Wait until you can see the petals forming and add a layer of fill - then use a spatula (print removal tool) to catch any oozing filament.
