Singing Heart with Arrow

thingiverse

3D Printed Singing Heart (with arrow) Here is the singing heart altered to have an arrow with it. I don't include all the pieces here. You will need to down load the singing heart prop. Swap out Parts 7 and 14 and print A1-A3. If you have already printed the heart, you shouldn't need to reprint the entire prop again! Unless you think it is so cool to have another heart! I don't plan on printing this for myself. While I have looked over the final product, I can't be certain everything is perfect. Description: It is composed of 30 separate pieces. (there are 2 test pieces used for printer testing and don't attach to the heart). Most pieces are 6mm thick with a 2mm wide raised edge that is 10mm high. This has shown to be plenty strong. My printed models have lasted 2 Upstate New York winters and show no signs of damage (printed in PLA even). The largest pieces (the arrow and fletching) do fit on a 220x220mm bed. It takes some work but is doable! Its approximate size is 840mm wide x 770mm high (33in x 31in). It holds 208 pixels (if I counted correctly). (I know just over 200, sorry). I went approx 1" spacing on the arrow to give it definition. Printer: Each piece is sized to fit on an Ender Pro printing bed (they fit in a 220x220 bed). Should be able to at least print several pieces at one time but this won't always be the case. I have tested printed pieces using PLA+ from GST3D. This stuff seems to print very nicely. To make the dove tailing work with a good fit, I do set the Horizontal Expansion to -0.21 (I found this varies with filament and new nozzles. I created several small "test pieces" so you could set up printer without wasting much material. XLights: A custom model is avaliable for this as well. PLEASE NOTE: I wired this differently than the singing face at the eyes and of course with the addition of the arrow. Please enjoy and provide feedback. I like to hear what others have to say.
