Valentines Day Blooming Flower Gift Box - Embossed

thingiverse

To personalize this awesome box I crafted, I made some tweaks. Thanks to FragrantAbyss for this incredible model! It looks like the A10M had some unusual 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 thrilled with it. I had a very nice Fire Engine Red PLA Plus version print on my CR-10S: 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 switch from Red PLA Plus to Black PLA Plus on a CR-10S 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 in both Green PLA Plus and Red PLA Plus 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 thrilled 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: https://www.paypal.me/bazzelworks, Cheers!
