Lid-flipping mug coaster

Keep it coasty coaster A clever flip-top lid coaster designed to prevent your hot tea or coffee from cooling too quickly. Specifically created for the Edinburgh ST Microelectronics mug, but feel free to modify it using the included Solidworks and STL files (the missing connector .prt is easily replicable). This simple print can be completed at a high speed and with either ABS or PLA materials. For optimal results, I recommend ABS due to its superior insulative and heat-resistant properties. PLA may warp over the lid and base if not printed carefully, making ABS the better choice. A standard 20% infill is my preferred setting for prints like this one. To assemble the coaster, you'll need a small elastic band to secure the hook that pulls down the lever and lifts the lid. Additionally, three 3mm screws are required: one should be at least 20mm in length, while the other two can be about 12mm or more.
