That is why I regularly disassemble mine and toss them in the dishwasher to prevent mold and to clean them from dust and drinks.

Neat. What plastics lack in absorbancy, this might make up for by having wells where condensation could drain into. Could also prove a veritable mold farm I suppose. Might try this with tpu as mesh layer to reduce slipperiness.

Does your dishwasher have a cold wash setting or did you print these in ABS or something?

It has a 60°C short program. Fiberlogy PETG doesn’t warp at those temps.

Gotcha. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a dishwasher with that functionality.

I’ve made similar coasters a while ago, just with a stone tile as the base. Despite having to endure hit tea every day, it’s holding up very well.
The PETG did minimally deform after months of using it, which is both good and bad. On one hand it’s now formed in a way that perfectly fits the specific cup I use, but that also means that it’s become a bad fit for every other cup or glass.
