You Captured My Heart
Suggested use:
- Print the STL file with no raft, no support.
- Pause the printer when the print is 75% complete, remove the heart box top and bottom pieces only. Paint the heart box red or decorate with colored markers as desired.
- Insert a handwritten message and/or small jewelry item into the heart box, then drop the assembled heart box into the outer box and unpause the print, to "capture the heart."
- When printing is complete, tie a a loop of red ribbon through the small holes in the corner of the outer box for decorative effect.
Notes:
a. If you have a printer with dual extruders, print the heart box in red.
b. If you are planning to insert a ring into the heart box, be sure to resize the print so that the ring will fit through the holes in the outer box. :-)
c. The outer box also makes a good coin trap.
d. The sample messages shown in the PNG files were generated with http://cooltext.com/
Jan. 30, 2017 Update: heart_box_v2 prints amazingly fast, with much better quality. I've removed the v1 files.
