Description
A “set” of printable drinks coasters with a heart motif in the centre, and an organiser on which to stack them when they are not in use.
There are two types of coaster, one that lies flat on the surface of your table/desk/bench and one that has small nubbins around the edge to raise it up slightly so the coaster doesn't trap any condensation.
There are FOUR types of organiser. One should allow stacking of up to 8 flat coasters, one should be sized for 8 nubbin coasters and then one more of each with a tiny bit of extra clearance on the central heart, if you find the standard one too tight. You could also do a tiny bit of sanding on the interior of the coasters if necessary or preferred. Personally I've just slid coasters up and down a few times and let friction do its thing.
Obviously you can print any combination of flat or nubbins coasters and fit them on the organiser together. 4 nubbins + 3 flats should fit flush with the flat organiser, or 10 flats could fit on the nubbin organiser. If you need more than 10 flats, print a second organiser! :)
Note that the coasters might be slightly challenging to print, due to the many holes. If you're struggling, try a brim but be prepared for a lot of post-print cleanup. I slowed my printer down a lot for the first layer and had no problems thereafter, your mileage may vary.
Would love to see any prints of these, especially in some more interesting colours!
