12-Pointed Islamic Star Coaster

June 24, 2022
Description
This is a classic motif and pattern seen in Arabic culture & Islamic art. Used in countless applications, from walls to carvings and even jewelry. There is so much geometry & mathematics packed in this beautiful star.
I created these coaster models as a souvenir from the time when I lived in Morocco.
I am also entering this to the Printables coaster contest, to share the centuries of history, knowledge and culture behind these beautiful designs with the 3D printing community.
Printing Instructions
You can print this upside-down on a textured bed.
You can scale any coaster in Z in your slicer to make it thicker.
Add a square of felt or cork underneath for an absorbent and non-slip feature.
This is prone to stringing, so fine tune that, or you can always clean it manually.
Find more coasters in my Flag Coasters collection, you can likely find yours there!
Notes: Not included are the Ramadan lantern or the Fatima Hand. Pictures show prints made with Fillamentum Pearl Ruby Red & Mint PLA Extrafill.
