Don't forget to ❤️, add to a collection, and follow SUNA for more fun creations!
A sturdy drink coaster with a traditional Japanese pattern. Large enough for most drink ware. Patterns are cut 3mm deep to accommodate condensation from drink glasses quite well.
Dimensions: ∅92 x 5 mm thick (~3.6 x .2 in)
Weight: ~32g
Kikkō Hanabishi / Tortoise Flower This is an auspicious pattern derived from the shape of the tortoiseshell (hexagons), which represents longevity. Simple tessellation of hexagons leads to a wide number of variations of kikkō, including kikkō hanabishi, where the center of the hexagons form flowers.
PRINTING:
- For best results, print one at a time or "by object" instead of "by layer"
- Clean your build plate! "Flat" models like this are more likely to shrink and peel up.
- Print from either side. I prefer design face down on a nice textured plate like the cryo plate
- Print with at least 5 bottom & top shell layers, 2-3 walls, 0-20% infill
- For fuzzy outer rim (using 3mf file):
- make sure to set fuzzy > countour/outside walls @ ~0.1mm point distance & thickness
- set modifier > fuzzy > none (necessary to avoid entire pattern printed with fuzzy skin)
