Penrose Coaster

thingiverse

I created something from scratch, and it's really cool. My design is based on Penrose tiling, which is an amazing pattern that never repeats because it uses pentagons in a very special way. It inspired me to create this simple coaster that fits nicely in your hand - the default size is actually bigger than usual coasters. Printing Details Printer: I used a LulzBot Mini to bring my creation to life. Raft Settings: The rafts don't really matter; just make sure they're there so my design can set properly. Supports are optional too, as this particular design doesn't rely on them heavily. Notes for Printing Don't expect perfect sharp edges when printing with a LulzBot Mini due to its limited resolution, but it still turns out awesome! If you have access to a different printer, feel free to give it a try. It could totally work.
