3D model description

The ultimate anti-spill coaster! I designed this 3D-printed cup holder to prevent my brat cat Darwin from knocking over our drinks. It's his favorite thing to do. Now we occasionally hear a "tap, tap" when he tries to knock them over, but he hasn't beat it yet. This fits nearly all of the cups we have, and all of the takeout drink cup sizes I've come across. If you have a wide-bottom glass, you probably don't need this anyway.

This listing is for the STL file. I've also included a few GCODE files already sliced for two different color-change variations for my Prusa MK3S+. To purchase a ready-made coaster, visit my other listing: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1554080309/cat-coaster-anti-tip-cup-holder
NOTE: It is highly recommended to add rubber anti-slip pads to the bottom. I use these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y66KP48

MULTI-USE: Protect your drinks from cats, critters, children, earthquakes, clumsy roommates, etc. Makes a great gift! But why limit to drinks? You can also use it as a pen holder, remote holder, planter, etc. The options are endless!

PRODUCT DETAILS: Outer dimensions are approximately 6.25" diameter at the base, 3.5" outer diameter at the top, and 2.75" tall. It can easily be adjusted in most slicer applications.

BACKGROUND:
I've been using this for months and have been delighted with the results. I am starting the Etsy shop to try to get extra cash while my husband is out of work (I promise to remove this statement/sympathy provoker when he does find something).

Let's be honest, it's just simple geometry (a paraboloid with a cylinder cutout), but sometimes simple is best!
