Skeleton Hand: Halloween Self-Adjusting Coaster
Let this Skeleton Hand handle your drink! This is mostly print-in-place, self-adjusting coaster, that needs NO supports.
”Mostly” because whole hand with mechanism is Print in place, the only part printed separately is the round pad, which you just need to place on top of the hand.
Additional accessories include a handcuff with a chain and a manacle, which you can easily snap onto the wrist of the hand for an extra visual touch!
Clearance between moving parts is very big, so every printer should print this design without any problem.
The Hand Coaster automatically adjusts to the size of the object, it can grip both a mug and a standard aluminum can.

Happy printing and share your new coaster!
3D printing settings:
- Please DO NOT remove flat elements(looking a bit like a brim) attached to each moving element. They are part of the mechanism.
- No Supports
- Moslty print-in-place (pad is printed separetely)
- 0.2[mm] layer height
- 2-3 walls (0.4-0.6[mm] nozzle)
- 30[%] infill
- For using with hot drinks I suggest use additional thin cork pad or print “pad” file with a heat resistance material.






























What colour u use for the bone
It was painted with speedpaint - Pallid Bone :)
What color is the aged bone coaster printed in? I tried a bone PLA and doesn’t look nearly as good as this one!
mine is having problems printing. it starts but then it messes up what can i do? make it bigger?
You don’t need to scale the model – it should print fine at the default size. Could you describe what’s going wrong? Is it coming off the bed or something else?
Great design and clever mechanism! Mine has a hard time springing back after taking the drink off
Hi, did you check the "Read_me" file attached with the files? There are some extra tips in case of any problems with the mechanism movement.
