Voronoi coaster and parabolic coaster

thingiverse

Hello, I'm creating a design that can serve multiple purposes when repurposed. This is a luxury parabolic coaster that can be attached to a table on a boat or while camping by its central hole, for instance, or placed on a flat surface for safe use with whiskey glasses, cola glasses, water tubes, coffee cups, tea cups, or other items. With a little push in its base, the glass or cup returns to its original position, and we can also twist it at a lower speed, similar to an Olympic skater in a half pipe. The inner surface is designed with a parabolic ruler and honeycomb pattern to quickly evacuate any spilled liquids. There's a top ring that stops the glass movement. My red ABS model took three hours to print using 0.3 layer thickness and 10% infill, resulting in a nice appearance. However, I suspect that printing at 0.2 layers will produce an even more slippery surface. Acetone vapor may also be beneficial. The second design has not been printed yet, but I've included it here for anyone interested in creating their own original Voronoi parabolic coaster. If you find any errors or issues, please let me know. The slots are designed to improve grip and collect spilled liquids, making the coaster look attractive, I suppose. Suggestions and new ideas are welcome.
