This model is my modern 3D-printed interpretation of the classic Danish julehjerte — the woven Christmas heart made famous by H.C. Andersen.
I kept the iconic woven pattern but redesigned the shape with clean, minimalist lines that print beautifully in PLA.
These ornaments are lightweight, durable, and ideal for both single-color and AMS two-color printing.
