The Heart Box is a charming and delightful design, perfect for gift boxes or containers for small favors. It features a delicate outer shell surrounded by intricate curls of melted material such as PLA or PET-G that create a texture that is both fascinating to the touch and visually appealing. The box's lid further enhances the design, offering the opportunity to add various textures for personalization. Additionally, an internal lining adds strength and finish to the structure, allowing for the option of color variations that provide a range of unique and endless combinations, all within the romantic confines of a heart shape.
This design is freely available for personal use and can be a delightful project for 3D printing enthusiasts. For optimal printing results, it is recommended to use a 0.4 mm nozzle with a layer height of 0.2 mm. When printing the outer shell, use vase mode while reducing the cooling fan speed to 50%, and for the bottom shell use 5 layers. Print the lid in vase mode with 3 layers in the bottom shell. The internal lining should not be printed in vase mode; instead, set 2 wall loops and 5 layers in the bottom shell. The project includes three optimized 3mf file for Bambu Lab printers.
This box is not just a container, but a gift in itself, offering a personal touch to the act of giving, with a creative experience included.
