Ive been wanting to make coasters for our kitchen but haven’t been able to figure out what i wanted to put on them. BUT, thanks to @ctowen87 dropping a couple of svg file into the forum I was able to whip something up. My wife is a big Harry potter fan but i didn’t want to be completely overt with the design. The deadly hollows symbol was a great compromise.

Recently ive also be really impressed with the presentation and rendering that @polarbrainfreeze does. So, decided it was time to remote into work and flex the solidworks muscles. I havent had to render a picture in a couple years so it was fun to try and dig up the old skills.

It needs a little work on texture, but ill catch up to you @polarbrainfreeze :wink:

Attached are the dxf files. They are designed for 3mm stock. but i havent tested the fit yet, i promise the stand will need glue.

fyi the coaster dxf doesnt have the engrave on it. So you can change it to whatever you want. But again, i got it from @ctowen87 here

Thanks guys for push and inspiration.

Thanks for the design.

BTW, I can’t take much credit for the renders I do, it’s pretty much all due to Fusion 360. I make the model, assign some material, put in the position I want, and then tell Fusion to do the render. It’s render engine does all the work. They did an awesome job with it.

I haven’t done much in Fusion in a while, but I just downloaded a file for an Adirondack chair and I want to recreate it in Fusion so I can laser cut some templates.
