Star Trek named (customizable) coaster set

thingiverse

I have a relatively large family, and when my adult kids come over, with their significant others, people tend to lose track of whose drink belongs to whom (especially after we have all had a few). So, I decided to make a named coaster for everyone. I started with simple round coasters with odd lettering, but then I wanted to make some coasters for guests. The word "guest" just isn't funny. So, I moved to "extra", which lead me to "not worthy of a name", which lead me to "expendable", which lead me to "Red Shirt"...Perfect. Then I figured since I am using a Star Trek reference for the guests, I should just go with a full-blown Star Trek coaster set. After a few iterations I landed on a modified Starfleet Command logo (for the growed ups), and a modified Starfleet Academy logo for the grandkids. Each coaster measures 90mm in diameter and 4.5mm thick. Then I needed a holder for all the coasters. Where better to hold your Star Trek coasters than a space station. Ok space dock would have been a better choice, but to do it justice, given the size of the coasters, and the amount I need to make, the holder would have been larger than I wanted. So, I went with the next best thing....DS9. The DS9 holder measures 186mm in diameter, and a little over 62mm tall. The DS9 model is a remix of the DS9 model created by outcastrc <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2152176">here</a> (Thank You!!) Some of the detail of the DS9 holder is pretty small, and may not hold up well, but only time will tell. I used supports to print the holder, tho I may have been able to print it without (better safe than sorry). Included STL files: - DS9 holder - Dad coaster (Captain) - Mom coaster (Commander) - 4 red shirt coasters (No rank since they are going to die anyway) - Blank Starfleet Command coaster (for customization) - Blank Starfleet Academy coaster (for customization) - A couple of the "star" shapes I used (for additional customization)
