A flower-shaped disc with holes forming a cross stitch pattern is the design of this item. It can be replaced by a flat disk; contact for the original version.

The V2 scad file customizes various features, including disc size, inset disc option, grid dimensions and sizes, rounding, petal number, size, and carve-out. V1.stl displays a flower with no inset and identical petal height as the disc. V2 inset circle.stl features a 1mm inset disc highlighting the grid holes and leveling thread finish. V2 inset petals.stl has a thinner disc, emphasizing petal shapes around the outside. Suitable for laser cutting, it's been printed with 0.6mm top/bottom, 0 infil, and 0.4mm walls, as well as 0.8mm top/bottom, 50% infill, and 0.4mm walls; the latter had a nicer finish, but infill may not be necessary.
