Dimensions/Print Times (Approximate) Coasters ~1h each
Holders ~3-4h
Note: The holder will also fit the original 2023 coasters, but will be slightly oversized. |
🛠️ Two Assembly Methods
There are two ways to assemble. Pick whichever one fits your needs!
- Glue: Drop fit parts held by a dab of glue, no reprinting needed
- Friction: Press fit parts, easy Studio tweaks to dial it in if needed, instructions below
Want a third way involving an AMS and to heck with the waste? If there's enough interest, I may consider making one; drop me a comment and let me know.
⛄ Coaster Surface Finish
You can achieve different coaster finishes depending on print orientation and build plate. I couldn't pick my favourite so it'll be up to you to decide 😅
- Face up
- Looks great as-printed
- Enable ironing for a gorgeous surface (requires Studio and calibrated settings)
- Face down
- Textured PEI has a nice “frosty” look.
- Holographic plates create a patterned reflective finish (silk PLA filaments only)
🧣 Scarf Stripes
The scarf is divided into evenly spaced knit rings, making it easy to print stripes using filament swaps, no AMS needed! Use the provided stripe pattern in the profile or come up with your own look by editing the RAW file in Bambu Studio.
- No AMS: the printer pauses at regular intervals so you can swap filament manually
- With AMS: color changes are automatic, no painting required
Note: Colour changes are visible in Studio on the Preview tab; Handy thumbnails may appear solid but will print correctly.
⚠️Before You Print
- Ensure your plate is extremely clean: small parts adhere better to properly clean build plates.
- Contains small parts: not intended for use around young children or pets
- Material limitations: not food safe, additionally, 3d prints may deform under super hot mugs
- Consider sealing the coasters: if you foresee washing them regularly
Coaster Assembly
Important: Direction matters! Insert with the rounded side UP.
Note: small parts are held together by very weak connecting strips. They should separate easily by hand or you can use cutters.

🧰 Adjusting Friction-Fit Parts
Differences in printer types and filament means that no model will print the same for every person. If the friction fit parts are too loose or too tight after you print them, there is an easy way to adjust the fit in Bambu Studio.
Facial features and/or arms too loose/tight → adjust tolerances for just those parts (e.g., noses, arms, etc.)
Scarf is too loose or too tight → adjust tolerance of the base (not the scarf)
Adjust Fit of individual Features or the Base
