Looking for a fun way to make holiday or seasonal coasters without the hassle of complicated design work? Meet the Coaster Buddy!

Instead of throwing designs on top of a flat coaster—or dealing with raised surfaces that make them impractical—this design gives you a smooth, flat surface while still taking full advantage of your AMS for colorful graphics.

The Coaster Buddy frame screws together (and apart), letting you swap out different “faceplates” anytime. This means one coaster frame can host as many designs as you want, all interchangeable.I wanted to print some fun holiday coasters this season, but I didn’t want to just slap a design on a flat disc—or make something with raised features that would be wobbly under a glass. I also didn’t want to waste time bouncing between a dozen tools just to get my graphics into coaster form.

So I built the Coaster Buddy.

🟢 The Coaster Buddy is a screw-together coaster frame that lets you swap out faceplates anytime you want.

🟢 You can make your own designs easily with the MakerLab Image-to-Keychain Tool—just upload any image (that you have the rights to use), choose the round option, scale it to 95.85mm x 95.85mm at 2mm tall, and print!

🟢 The result is a flat, AMS-friendly surface that really pops in color, and you can change the designs whenever the mood or season changes.

This means one coaster frame = endless designs. Halloween today, winter holidays tomorrow, birthdays next month.

How It Works

• Use the MakerLab Image-to-Keychain Tool to create your faceplates.
• Upload any image you have rights to use and select the round option.
• Scale the output object to 95.85mm x 95.85mm and 2mm tall in Bambu Studio.
• Print and drop it into the Coaster Buddy frame!

That’s it—you’ve got a fully customizable coaster system where faceplates can be swapped in seconds. Perfect for holidays, parties, or just showing off your favorite designs.
