Sturdy Drink Coasters

thingiverse

A versatile and long-lasting coaster capable of handling even the heaviest drinks. A large water reservoir efficiently captures excessive condensation. There are 3 versions: **Coaster 2** - This initial design was a success. Although it's slightly too tall, you may appreciate its chunky appearance. Print with the top facing upwards. **Coaster 3** - A revised version of Coaster #2 features a slimmer, reversible design (can be printed from either the top or bottom). Inverted prints look great if you have a glass or PEI bed, resulting in a shiny surface. **Coaster 4** - Identical to Coaster 3 but scaled up approximately 15%. This size is sufficient for comfortably holding a Nalgene bottle. Note: Ensure that your initial solid layers are fully infilled; otherwise, leaks can occur if water remains in the coaster for too long. This issue often arises with oversized glasses filled with extremely cold liquids. For more information on print settings, consult the notes below or consider finishing the coaster with paint, sealant, or lacquer. Alternatively, adding absorbent material to the cavities could prevent water from entering the plastic.
