I made sakura coasters recently which you may find here, and i though, heyt, let's make a place where you can store them. I was inspired by the design with monstera coasters, so i made the branches so you can attach the coasters onto them via magnets.
Just place the coasters back onto the branches when you don't need them and you'll have a cute 3D printed spring-themed decor!
Things that you'll need:
Sakura flowers (coaster)
I made the coasters in 2 sizes: A bigger one which is about 90mmx4mm and the smaller one which is about 60mmx2mm. You can place up to 5 coasters on the branches. Although the middle length branch can fit the bigger ones, you may want to use smaller coasters.
I purposedly make the branches to fit bigger and small ones so the “bouquet” would look more interesting.
You can fully customize the color of the flowers since each part of the flower is a single part. Just go to Object and change the filament colors.
I recommend changing the wall generator to “Arachne” when printing the flowers.
Info: The flowers are with negative parts which are intended to house the magnets
Branches
The branches come in 3 lengths: short (for 1 big coaster), middle-length (for 2 small coasters), and long (for 1 big coaster and 1 small coaster).
There are 0 tolerances between the base of the branches and the recesses, so they will fit in snuggly (you need to apply some force to insert them). However, if you still want to adjust the arrangement of the flowers, you can still do it by wiggling it and rotating it carefully.
Make sure to deburr the base of the brances so they'll fit in the recesses nicely.
I printed the branches with the tree support, 10% infill. If you want a cleaner print, you might wanna use PETG as support.
Vase
I made the vase in 2 designs. You can make your own vase if you want. The important thing is the hole has to be 95mm. You'll also need to make a ridge of about 2mm thick around the inside of the vase.
The insert has a tolerance of 0.2mm, so it has a nice wiggle room. So you can remove it and place it back again easily, ideal for storage purposes.

I hope you like the design! Looking forward to hear your thoughts/suggestions for improvement.
