I’m working on a gift for a coworker who is resigning, it’s based on a joke about the breakfast discussions being an excellent podcast.

I have 3 test pieces that I want to experiment on I want to smooth the surface and add a anti-slip surface to both sides. Any suggestions? Ideas? Comments?

    The coasters are double sided. The printer is not mine and they dont have a smooth PEI plate. I want the same texture on both sides, so im hoping to do some post processing.

    Thank you for your reply.

      If you want an identical texture from the plate on both sides, you could split your model in two laterally and print both finished faces downwards against the plate, and then glue/screw/pin/otherwise attach the two halves together afterwards.

      Doing this with an inlay for the two colors would be possible, i.e. with a filament change on the same layer. If your colored bit is a separate layer on top of the other stuff that plan won’t be possible.

        That could be an option, but ill look into the anti slip pads and i have also found “clear plastidip” online and ill see if i can make a nice coasters surface with that.
