Tessellating Flower Coaster Reloaded

This is a re-imagining of my tesselating flower coaster. Initially, I had been content to utilize filament swap as a means to change colors, but I found this method to be unpredictable when transitioning from PLA to ABS (the ABS petals occasionally failing to adhere) and the flowers were limited to one color only. A complete overhaul was in order, and I decided an inlay technique would be the most effective way forward. Not only would it grant me the freedom to have as many different colored petals as I desired, there was also the challenge of creating two models that must fit together and appear seamless.
