Barely a year after their Kickstarter campaign took off, a UK-based company is making waves with an innovative Valentine's Day gift idea - a 3D printed heart that lights up like a LED light show. The unique piece of art is made possible by the use of Bare Conductive Electric Paint, which gives it a conductive and glowing quality. The paint, developed by Dr. Gareth Maguire of the University of Brighton, uses carbon-based materials to create an electrically-conductive film that can be applied to any surface. This means that anything from a piece of paper to a 3D printed object can be transformed into a glowing work of art. In this case, Bare Conductive partnered with Shapeways to produce the 3D-printed heart, which is then painted with the electric paint. The result is a beautiful and unique Valentine's Day gift that will surely stand out from the crowd. The gift comes in various sizes, including a small pendant-style version that can be worn as jewelry. The Bare Conductive Electric Paint is available for purchase online, making it easy to create your own glowing masterpieces at home. However, if you're short on time or not feeling crafty, the 3D printed heart with electric paint makes a great alternative gift idea.
