Space X Grid-Fin Coaster Trivet Thingamajig!

thingiverse

So I am a huge fan of YouTuber Winston Moy who runs a CNC channel. In a recent episode, he created a **Space X Grid-Fin Coaster** inspired by the Grid-Fin from a Space X rocket. He talked about some of the challenges in modeling this in Fusion 360 and hit me - can I do something like this in Open-SCAD and give it back to the community as both code and a customizer on Thingiverse? Yes, I can! Now, it's hard to 3D print a coaster, so I started thinking and it hit me - a trivet! Now, this is a very flexible design. You can set the height, if there is a bottom or not, circle size (I suggest leaving as is) as well as indenting for a mug. For flexibility, I left it large so it could be output as an SVG for CNC or Laser cutting to make a trivet. However, say you want a smaller version - just import the STL into your slicer and resize it! Oh, and another thing you will notice is I added the Space-X logo to the center of the Grid-Fin for added effect! So, if you're looking for a unique personalized gift for the Space enthusiast and want to show off your maker skills, then this is the model for you! **Major Favor:** If you make one of these, please post the Make and share it with the community.
