Unique and beautiful resin and FDM Beehive and honeycomb coaster set
Beautiful and Unique Handmade Beehive Resin and PLA Drinks Coaster Set.
This is a set of four coasters in a holder.
The coasters are 3D printed from orange filament. I created a bespoke raised honeycomb design within each coaster. After printing the top of the honeycomb layer was painted black to accentuate the honeycomb design.
I then filled the coaster in several stages with a combination of clear, yellow and rich gold resin made with mica powder. The golden resin was added to random section of the honeycomb and allowed to overflow to create the effect of beautiful honey overflowing. Miniature glass bee beads were then added to the design, before the coasters were finished with clear resin. Each coaster will be unique.
Having created the beehive coasters I then wanted to create an appropriate holder for the coasters. What better than a beehive! I then designed the beehive holder to fit the coasters, and allow for easy access. This is created in two sections, with a lid which can be removed to get to the coasters.
The resin used is of a very high quality with additional heat resistant qualities which means it can withstand high temperatures without melting or yellowing. The coasters can be used for either hot or cold drinks.
A cork base is added to each coaster to ensure the protection of any furniture on which it is used.
The coasters make a wonderful gift for many different occasions such as housewarming, mothers day, birthdays etc. or of course a gift for yourself :-)
The coasters can be wiped clean with a cloth and warm water, they should not be immersed in water – either handwashed or in a dishwasher.
