Description

As I hail from lovely sunny South Africa, I though it would be nice to make some coaster and an appropriate coaster holder of the Big 5 (Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo). The holder is meant to be Elephant horns to keep with the theme. The coasters are 95x95mm and approximately 2mm thick with the border being 3mm thick.

It takes about 14hrs to print and the holder as is now prints in the most efficient manner with the least amount of wasted filament and also in the quickest possible time. All you need to do is add a dab of superglue to the clip receptacles on the holder and stick them together. Be careful though not to shear the pins off though.

Feel free to experiment with different colours at the various changes, however I cannot guarantee the outcome.

The colour changes for each animal are as follows:
