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.
Designed this coaster, because I wanted something tidy looking and dual color, without filament changes

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.

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

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

Where’s the best place to learn to design things like this? I’ve played with Tinkercad, watched a few videos, and done the tutorials, but i still struggle with actually completing a design. Right now I’m trying to make a mesh football that’s open on both ends to make a zoomball. It shouldn’t be that hard! Why can’t i get it right?!

If your printer is tuned well and is direct drive, there should be absolutely nothing in your way. Just print the parts separately and, if you want, in different colors. Happy printing!
