Heartstrings Tealight Holders
thingiverse
Peer inside the heart-shaped openings in this tealight holder and you’ll see a complex surface structure inspired by the “chordea tendineae,” thread-like bands of fibrous tissue that anchor your heart valves in place. The chordae tendineae are colloquially known as the “heart strings.” What could be more romantic? The heart-shaped profiles are formed by slicing precise cross-sections of the mathematic Fischer-Koch C(Y) triply periodic minimal surface. Again, super romantic, right?

Please note that this page is closing, and designs are not being maintained or updated. There have just been too many problems with Thingiverse (lost files, people not able to download, etc). I am gradually moving over to Thangs: https://thangs.com/designer/DaveMakesStuff. Most old designs have been migrated, and I will continue to post new designs there. I encourage you to follow and download!
