3D model description

Poseidon swirled his ambrosia for a while, contemplating the vastness of his watery dominion; putting down his chalice on the coaster, he noticed how most fitting its pattern was for a new maze with elegant coral, rivaling those conceited landstriders in Knossos.

This design results from a reaction-diffusion simulation using the Gray-Scott model. Reaction-diffusion systems can model pattern formations ubiquitous in nature, such as corals, dunes, or spots and stripes on animals.

The simulation models a process whereby two chemicals react with each other and diffuse through a medium. The pattern is a visualization of the concentration of one of the chemicals across space at a specific point in time.

The coaster measures 92 x 92 mm.

Instructions

Prints at 0.2 mm layer height. The base and pattern are 2 mm and 1.4 mm high respectively, so you can issue a color change command at the 2.20 mm mark to print them in different colors.

To slice the models:
In PrusaSlicer import the base, then add the pattern as a part.
In Cura import both models, select both of them, and merge them.

Use ironing on the topmost surface.
