Introduction:
A Divine Emergency
It turns out, even the God of Love isn't immune to losing his wallet. With Valentine’s Day approaching, Cupid found himself in a serious crisis. He has a very active social calendar, dates lined up with wizards, witches, magical and human beings of every kind.
He knows that while true love is priceless, a romantic candlelight dinner and a bouquet of enchanted roses unfortunately cost a lot of gold.
The Commission
In his desperation, he saw my previous PayWand design and reached out immediately. He begged me to forge a tool that could handle his contactless transactions with style.
I agreed to help him save Valentine's Day, but I had one condition: I wouldn't take payment. Instead, I demanded the right to release this design to the mortal realm for everyone to use.
Why you need this? Whether you want to:
- Flex on your date with a magical payment gesture.
- Attempt to "buy" someone's heart (or at least their dinner).
- Or simply because you think standard bank cards are boring.
🌟 Key Features
- No glue required. The main wand screws together perfectly. (Exception: If you print the separated "Bowtie" version, that specific part needs a tiny drop of glue to attach to the Heart).
- Single Plate and “Separated Parts” Version. Prints entirely on one plate if you are happy with a single color. 🎨 You will find multiple plates within a single profile
- Universal Fit: Designed for standard bank cards.
- Spell Effect: +50 Charisma.
- Design: A heart-shaped tip to symbolize the only magic that truly matters: Love
- The Stabilizing Thingy™: A dedicated reinforcement piece at the card slot to keep the thread rigid during assembly. We want you to break hearts, not your wand.
- 🔄 Bonus Feature: Cross-Compatibility:
- Great news for collectors! The magical threads on this wand are fully standardized.
- This model is 100% compatible with the original PayWand - Wizard's Magic Payment Stick.
- Mix & Match: You can combine the handle from the original wand with the Heart Tip from this version (or vice versa) to create your own unique hybrid artifact.
🫶 A Humble Request (The "Wife Tax")
If you enjoy this model, please consider giving it a Boost 🚀 or a Like! Why? To be honest, I spend way more time with my 3D printer modeling these wands than I do with my wife. If this model does well, I might actually be able to afford a nice surprise for her and avoid being banished to the Doghouse Dimension. Help a fellow wizard out!

⚗️ Alchemist’s Notes & Print Configurations
To ensure the highest success rate for your magical instrument, I have prepared two distinct print profiles. Since different materials shrink differently, I have calibrated the tolerances specifically for each element.
Choose your potion (Profile) wisely:
- 1. PLA Version (Recommended)
- 2. PETG Version
- ⚠️ The Silk Trap: While Silk filaments are shiny and "ooh-la-la" beautiful, beware: they are the most brittle. Choose them at your own peril.
Inside Each Profile: I have organized the plates to suit your crafting style 🎨. You will find multiple plates within a single profile:
- The "Monochrome" Plate: All parts on a single bed. Perfect for those who want a solid color wand or want to paint it manually.
- The "Grand Design" Plates (Separated Parts): The parts are separated onto different plates. This allows you to print the handle in one color (e.g., Wood/Gold) and the Heart Tip in another (e.g., Pink/Red) for the maximum "love-struck" effect without an AMS.
💡 Pro Tip: Handle Coloring
I have prepared the files so everyone can have a fancy two-tone handle, with or without an AMS unit.
- For AMS Users: Simply select the plate with the multicolor preview. The color changes are painted and ready to go for automatic swapping.
- For Manual Color Swap (No AMS): Look for the plate labeled "HandleNO AMS - added PAUSE". I have added a pre-set pause at the decorative ring layer.
- To add color: When it pauses, unload filament -> Load new color (e.g., Gold) -> Resume.
- To keep it one color: Just hit "Resume" immediately without changing anything.
🔩Assembly:
How to insert/remove the card?: Just like a healthy relationship, using this wand is now a partnership that requires two hands. Due to the extra grip of the Stabilizing Thingy™, you can't just force it. Treat it gently: Use one hand to hold the wand, and a finger from your other hand to gently pry the heart slot open just enough for the card to slide in. Love requires patience, not force.
