pikachu coaster (pair)

Pikachu drink coasters. This download contains two drink coasters, a negative and positive one. If you print it as a coaster, I would recommend the negative one because that one provides more stability for your glass or cup. Use these coasters to place your favorite drink. If you have printed it, don't hesitate to show off your skills and upload a picture. This is a standard size coaster (100 by 100 by 5 mm), to fit in my coaster holder: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3130397 I have printed this model with Fillamentum luminous yellow PLA. I used 0.25mm layer height and 18% infill. I used a 0.4mm nozzle with my extruder at 210 degrees Celsius. I used a heated bed. To avoid curling up at the bottom, I used a brim. Don't hesitate to use your own configuration. Design steps I picked a logo from my browser and converted it into svg format in Inkscape (see video*). Opened the svg file in Blender and made it a 3D object. In Meshmixer, I repaired the file using the 'Inspector' button under the 'Analysis' tab. In Meshmixer, I also added a drink coaster. I designed the drink coaster in 123D Design using simple model techniques. You can also choose to make a template of a drink coaster in another program. For example: Tinkercad. Than I merged the drink coaster with the 3D model (of the logo) after scaling the model in Meshmixer. In Meshmixer, I made the 'positive' file. For the negative model, I used 123Design to subtract the file from a drink-coaster. Saved it as a STL file and sliced it for printing. Because the model still had some issues even after repairing it in Meshmixer; I decided to export it into Netfabb Online Service. This almost works very well after modeling something. Netfabb Online Service is a free STL repairing service. After this process, I previewed the model in my slicer (something I advise you to do before printing a model). The preview looked great with perfect lines; so I could print it without any problems.
