I designed this butterfly coaster to use with transparent filaments.
There are four (4) layers of colors, allowing you to mix your own combination of colors using transparent filaments.
You can personalize it by added recessed text into the top of the coaster to expose the layers beneath.
At 100% scale, the total height of the coaster is 4.4mm, and the height/width measures 100mm. The height of the surface of the coaster at 3.0mm.
Depending on the slicer program you use, there might be options to either cut out space for text on surfaces, or to create text on surfaces and then change the text to a “negative” text to create a recessed space into the print.
Using the Bambu Studio app, you can add this text using the the following:
Click “Prepare” next to home icon → Select “Text shape [T]” on top → Set Thickeness the height of recess → Select font and fill Input Text field values with “Surface” checked and position the text → Right click the new text under “Objects” on the left side bar, and select “Change Type” to “Negative Part” → Select "Move [M] on top and edit the Z value such that the text becomes recessed into the surface
Assuming 100% scale with 3.0mm surface height of layer four (4), to show colors from a certain layer, you need to create recessed text of the following height:
Pictured prints above were printed with 4.0mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, enable all top surface ironing, 3 walls, 25% infill.
The first picture was printed with the following layer colors , with honeycomb infill pattern and the name recessed to layer 2:
The second picture was printed with the following layer colors , with octagram spiral infill pattern and the name recessed to layer 2:
