The Zodiac Coasters!

I have made 12 coasters to celebrate each of our star signs. I have done my best to make them as uniform as possible.After some testing I have realised that printing them top side up with ironing is actually the best way to print these. I have already changed the ironing settings to produce nice and smooth results. Better to print these on the textured plate to stop them sliding around. 

Given the universe is just energy and we are tiny patterns of dense energy surrounded by other tiny patterns, yet grand by our scale like the planets, I see not reason why the gravitational pull of say Mars cannot have an impact on your life based on your birth month. 

I have tried to match the colours for each sign to a Bambu Filament colour. 

Most prints take around 1 hour or less. If you have an H2D - you can print two colours at once with minimal waste. I set the base colour and one star sign colour to one AMS, then a second star sign colour to another AMS. I have tested these on a H2D and P2S - both come out looking great.

I like my printed items to have a bit more weight, so I have set the infill to 25% - you can lower this if you prefer a lighter coaster and to reduce the filament used. 

To find the right ironing settings I used this excellent profile test!

Aries (March 21 – April 19) The Spark. Just as the universe began with a Big Bang, the zodiac begins with Aries. You are the raw, explosive energy of the cosmos waking up. Like a match struck in the dark, you bring heat, speed, and undeniable presence. You don’t wait for the universe to happen to you; you happen to it.

• Vibe: Bold, impulsive, alive.
• Color: Red

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) The Foundation. After the explosion comes the settling of dust into solid ground. That is Taurus. You represent the universe finding its footing. You are the gravity that holds things together - reliable, unmovable, and deeply connected to the physical pleasures of existence. You remind us that stardust can be solid, beautiful, and enduring.

• Vibe: Grounded, loyal, sensual.
• Color: Green

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) The Messenger. The universe loves to communicate, and you are its voice. Gemini is the electricity jumping between neurons, the connection between two points. You are the cosmos in conversation with itself - curious, quick, and never stuck in one place. You prove that the universe isn't just matter; it's information and ideas buzzing at light speed.

• Vibe: Witty, curious, adaptable.
• Color: Yellow

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) The Tide. We are mostly water, and just as the Moon pulls the oceans, it pulls on you. Cancer represents the "feeling" universe. You are the safe harbour in the cosmic storm, deeply intuitive and protective. You remind us that even in the vast coldness of space, there is warmth, memory, and a place to call home.

• Vibe: Intuitive, protective, deep.
• Color: Silver / Light Grey

Leo (July 23 – August 22) The Star. You are ruled by the Sun, and it shows. Leo is the universe showing off its brilliance. You have a gravitational pull that naturally draws others into your orbit. You aren't just surviving; you are radiating. You remind us that we were born to shine, to create, and to burn brightly.

• Vibe: Charismatic, radiant, regal.
• Color: Gold / Orange

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) The Architect. The universe is chaotic, but it also follows perfect laws of physics. Virgo is that order. You are the fine-tuning of the cosmos, the eye that sees the details everyone else misses. You take the scattered pieces of stardust and organise them into something efficient and useful. You are nature’s perfectionist.

• Vibe: Analytical, helpful, precise.
• Color: Brown / Beige

Libra (September 23 – October 22) The Balance. Gravity is constantly working to keep solar systems from flying apart, and Libra does the same for people. You are the equilibrium of the zodiac. You instinctively understand how to counter-balance energy to create harmony. You remind us that the universe is beautiful only when forces are equal and fair.

• Vibe: Charming, diplomatic, harmonious.
• Color: Sakura Pink / Matte Ice Blue

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) The Mystery. If the universe has dark matter and black holes - mysterious, powerful, and unseen - that is Scorpio. You represent the depths where surface light doesn't reach. You aren't afraid of the dark or the intense; you thrive there. You remind us that the most powerful connections are the ones we feel but cannot see.

• Vibe: Intense, magnetic, transformative.
• Color: Maroon / Black

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) The Explorer. The universe is constantly expanding, and so are you. Sagittarius is the energy that refuses to sit still. You are the arrow shot into the infinite void, always seeking the next horizon, the next truth, and the next adventure. You represent the limitless potential of the cosmos to grow.

• Vibe: Adventurous, optimistic, free.
• Color: Indigo Purple

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) The Mountain. Time is the oldest force in the universe, and Capricorn is its master. You are the pressure that turns coal into diamonds. You represent resilience and the slow, steady climb to the top. You remind us that greatness isn't an accident; it's built atom by atom, day by day, through sheer will.

• Vibe: Ambitious, disciplined, enduring.
• Color: Charcoal Grey / Cocoa Brown or Bronze

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) The Visionary. You are the futuristic flash of lightning. Aquarius connects to the "cosmic mind" - the collective consciousness. You are the outlier, the one who breaks the orbit to find a new path. You remind us that we are all made of the same stuff, yet you are completely, unapologetically unique.

• Vibe: Innovative, rebellious, humanitarian.
• Color: Blue / Turquoise

Pisces (February 19 – March 20) The Dreamer. Eventually, all stars return to the dust they came from. Pisces is that return to the source. You blur the lines between reality and the spiritual. You feel the connection between molecules more than anyone else - where you end and the rest of the universe begins is a mystery. You are the cosmic ocean itself.

• Vibe: Empathic, artistic, soulful.

Color: Mistletoe Green / Purple
