Valentines Day Blooming Flower Gift Box - Embossed

thingiverse

To personalize this wonderful box I made a coupla changes. Thanks to FragrantAbyss for this fantastic model! Looks like the [A10M ](https://amzn.to/2E6rgrO) had some odd layer shifts in the petals, but since this is the fifth attempt (tried two in ABS then 2 more in PLA+, finally added trim parts to win) at a decent print, I’m sure she’ll be happy with it ;) Had a very nice [Fire Engine Red PLA Plus ](https://amzn.to/2tgU76N) version print on my [ CR-10S ](https://amzn.to/2BxnFl0) : https://www.thingiverse.com/make:610700 Changes: - Embossed "Happy Valentines Day" around the ring. - Removed the heart in the center, left the post, - Enlarged the heart and added "2019" to the model. - Put a .4mm ring around the bottom - since 2/3rds of the time the small flower bases would break loose from the build plate. Trim to activate flower petals. (Edit: I see now the OP has a ‘Trim Tab’ model.) - Print the 2019 Heart with supports, and added a color change pause to change from [Red PLA Plus](https://amzn.to/2TMqHcj) to [Black PLA Plus](https://amzn.to/2TIJPIc) on a [ CR-10S ](https://amzn.to/2BxnFl0) 215/65 .2/4mm noz. I added my custom color change Gcode pause, but you can do the same manually when the numbers start printing with the pause function on any printer. - Printed Base with no supports on an [A10M ](https://amzn.to/2E6rgrO) in both [Green PLA Plus](https://amzn.to/2X2zzg2) and [Red PLA Plus](https://amzn.to/2TMqHcj) at 215 / 65 .2/20% 4mm noz. Used the Geeetch color mixer - Layer 1-42 100% Red, 43-155 50% Green + 50% Red, 155-top 95% Green +5% Red - Not exactly happy with the A10M flow, and it looks like the green is too light in order to make ‘Brown’ and to go fully Green. It’s a nice effect anyway. If you enjoy it and want to buy me a cup of coffee: [Paypal me](https://www.paypal.me/bazzelworks), Cheers!
