Ceramic Smiley Coaster

I took a ceramics class to explore how ceramics and 3D printing might intersect, as well as how learning ceramics might help me with 3D design and printing. For example, many 3D-printed objects can be made with clay, and vise versa. Material mashups--with some parts 3D printed and other parts ceramic--could be fun. Also, curling and warping can occur with either medium; supports are sometimes needed; both have very different "undo" features (with wet clay, you can just scrunch it up and start over).

As part of my first project, I wanted to see how 3D-printed clay cutters might work to produce drink coasters with designs pressed into them. BTW, clay is much better for higher temperature tasks, like hot pads and trivets, than thermoplastic filament.

I really liked Ben's (mrbenbritton) [Smily Cookie Cutter and Stamp](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:32431) because of his two-part design with separate cutter and stamp. I also liked Omni Color's (Omnicolor67) [Smiley Cookie Cutter in On
