3D Printed Coaster Generator

Design a coaster with icons, brand logos, your own artwork, curved text and patterns, and export it as STL

3D Print Guide

You can print multi-colored objects even with a single extruder by swapping the filament at a specific layer. The base is printed in one color, and everything that stands out above it in a second color.

  1. Generate the model and export it to STL.
  2. Open the STL in your slicer and slice it.
  3. In the layer preview, find the first layer above the base (where the raised details start).
  4. Add a filament change (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio: the + next to the layer slider; Cura: Extensions → Post Processing → Filament Change).
  5. Print. The printer pauses at that layer so you can load the second filament, then continues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should a coaster be?
Most coasters are 90 to 110 mm wide and 3 to 5 mm thick. 100 mm fits nearly every mug and glass. Turn on the mug in the preview to check.
Which filament should I use?
PLA works for cold drinks. For hot mugs, PETG or ASA is better, because PLA can soften above 55 °C. A cork pad on the underside also insulates the table.
How do I print a multi-color coaster?
Choose "Inlay" as print style and enable "Separate parts" before exporting. Load all parts in your slicer as one object and give each part its own filament. With a single nozzle, use "Raised" and add a filament change at the first layer above the coaster.
How do I add cork or felt to the underside?
Choose "Cork" under Underside and cut a cork sheet to the shape of the recess. The recess has to be printed face up as a bridge, so it works best with "Print face down" (engraved or inlay). Rubber feet pockets print fine either way.
Can I use my own logo or photo?
Yes. Upload an SVG (used as it is) or a PNG or JPG: the image is traced automatically and you can adjust the threshold. High-contrast images with clear shapes work best.
What happens when I share a design?
Your coaster goes into the public gallery with its name, thumbnail and settings, so others can open, like and remix it. You do not need an account; your browser remembers your designs, so you can delete them later.
Which file formats can I export?
STL files (binary or ASCII) for 3D printing, and PNG images with a transparent background for previews.
