Valentine Box

Post by mhackney »

I designed and printed this little valentine box in the wine PLA I got this week.

It has cut out hearts in the lid, which is printed with "0" skin so you can see the fill pattern. I'll be taking some better photos of this one, a red one and a pink one and then post them on Thingiverse sometime this week. It's about 3 1/3" tall.

cheers,
Michael

Ok, I've completed the Valentine's Box and put the STLs on Thingiverse.

The box lid has heart shaped cutouts. There is an "insert" STL that is simply a thin heart that you can print and insert in the lid like you can see here:

These look great with different combinations of red, wine, pink, white and transparent filaments. Translucent PLAs are particularly nice.
