Description
Included in the files for this Santa Coaster are English, Czech (of course), Spanish, French, German, Italian and Swedish/Norwegian language variants. I've only printed the English versions, but the other language variants were simple enough modifications that I'm highly confident they'll print as well as the English.
110mm (~4.25") diameter.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There are two gcode versions for each language. If you have a fleshtone filament that you like, use the version that includes “fleshtone” in the name. If, like me, you do not own fleshtone filament, you can experiment with filaments that you do own to try and make a fleshtone that works for you. The gcode file that does not have fleshtone in the name is designed so that the flesh is printed as one layer of white followed by three layers of whatever filament you put in extruder 5. For me, what worked (and is pictured) to get a caucasian fleshtone had Prusa Orange in extruder 5.
So … the Caucasian Santa pictured used the file “Merry Chistmas Santa Coaster v2_0.2mm_PLA,PLA,PLA,PLA,PLA_MK3SMMU2S_2h45m” and the specific filaments and extruders were:
And, for the Black Santa gcode, file “Merry Chistmas Santa Fleshtone Coaster v2_0.2mm_PLA,PLA,PLA,PLA,PLA_MK3SMMU2S_2h46m” and filaments:
Again, the only difference in the two gcode file variants (with and without the word “fleshtone”) is that the fleshtone file prints the facial features in filament 5; the non-fleshtone file prints the facial features as one layer from extruder 1 followed by three layers from extruder 5.
In addition to your print, you will want to get some adhesive cork for the bottoms. I sourced mine from Amazon.
| Language | Text on Coaster |
| English | Merry Christmas! |
| Czech | Veselé Vánoce! |
| Spanish | ¡Feliz Navidad! |
| French | Joyeux Noël! |
| German | Frohe Weihnachten! |
| Italian | Buon Natale! |
| Swedish/Norwegian | God Jul! |
Hopefully, this all makes sense and people make use of all the different variants. Post pictures and let me see!!
(The gcode viewer in Printables does a terrible job rendering the gcode … download to get a better view).
