Description
This is a Valentine's Day treat container you can refill and use again and again. Or you can gift it to someone special. Why buy overpriced, pre-filled hearts when you can buy good candy and fill this one completely full?
Since love can be irrational, I increased the size of each heart iterratively by the golden ratio (Phi). This model was designed using TinkerCAD code blocks.
I revised this model a few times, but to get the right amount of press for the press fit, you will want to press the lid in and pull it out repeatedly to get it perfectly tight but not too loose. You could also sand it gently, but don't be too aggressive because the lid will get too loose.
The original model will typically fit your candy well enough, but there is a tall version of the bottom for larger candy (like truffles) that will not fit in the original model.

The stl files may need to be sliced so you can print it on your printer. My printer is a single nozzle, PrusaMK3s. I have provided Gcode for my printer, and I added stop points to the Gcode so you can swap the filament during color changes.
Feel free to remix my model. If you print it, share some pictures. I want to see them!
