Heart-Shaped Box - inspired by http://homemade-modern.com/ep72-concrete-heart-box/ and Nirvana ;)At
100% size the box is pretty small, if you want to store something
bigger than a piece of paper or a really small gift you should scale the
model up. The one I made is 140% which is still pretty small but
perfect for me. The model should scale up pretty good, there are no
difficult parts to print.I split up the top piece in two parts
so you can print it without any overhands or support material. Just
align the holes in both pieces and glue them together. Preferable with
some superglue so you get a tight fit.The inner part of the top
has quite a bit clearance to the outer box but if you cast this in
concrete it will be easier to get it to fit. (I may upload a box just
for 3d printing with tighter tolerances.)Use the printed heart
shaped as framing for the silicon mold tho you don't have to use huge
amounts of extra silicon (that stuff isn't cheap). Cut them open after
your silicon has hardened, if you are careful you can use them later for
stabilizing your silicon mold during the casting process. (Or print new
ones).Tips:- use a soft silicon- you properly have to cut your silicon open to remove your parts (at least I had to)UpdateI added a version for 3d printing only. It has thinner walls and a better fitting top.
