3D Printed Drink Coasters

This is what I've been doing in the last month with my spare time. Printed on Flashforge Creator Pro with ABS.

I also opened a shop on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Micro3DTechlab, but I am still learning how to use it....

very pretty :-)

Pretty, but glass on hard plastic would slide easley and no absorption for sweating.

As long as the surface is textured (which they all appear to be) sweating and sliding shouldn't be a major issue. There are plenty of coasters out there made from plastic, glass, tile, etc that all work fine.

Thank you
I tried them and the glass is not sliding. When I designed them I thought about that also, but they seem to work pretty well. And I love that texture.

Some of them are a combination of 3D printed parts and acrylic glass.

Two days ago, I was accepted to participate with the coasters in an exhibition for interior design.

very nice work.

I love the simplicity of application & beautiful design! I do have a suggestion -- creating a slight concavity on the edges could also help .

thank you

raysspl - Thank you for the advice. I will try to do that.

Beautiful coasters. Did you model them yourself?

[car3less]

Thank you!

Yes. They are made in Rhino. I did everything by myself from concept and 3D modelling to 3D printing and post-processing.
