Parametric Shutter Box - Heart Shaped

Printing tips:

• Print 2 bodies (the plain is compatible with the outlined) and 2 shutters.

• Use holographic plates to give it a nice, extra touch (check the last cover photo for example).

• Optionally engrave it with a text in the slicer using modifiers.

Assembly:

You will need:

• 2 printed bodies (the plain is compatible with the outlined)

• 2 printed shutters

• Glue

Insturctions:

1. Inserts the 2 shutters into one of the bodies. (ribs on the shutter should face the outside).

2. Add glue on the 3 attachment points on the bodies

   1. Avoid glue dripping on the shutters!

3. Insert the bodies together and wait for the glue to dry.

Customizing your own in FreeCAD:

FreeCAD is a free to use/download CAD software. After installing it and importing the project file, you will see the available parameters on the leftside after clicking on "VarSet".

Currently only 2 parameters are available (I might make other parts of it parametric if requested):

• Scale XY

• Scale Z

These parameters scale the bodies and shutters keeping the tolerances and wall widths the same! I don't recommend going below the original size (1.0), as certain values might break the model. But any value above 1.0 should work fine!

When you are done customizing, select the Body and hit Ctrl + e to export it (or Top Menu Bar -> File -> Export...). Then do the same with the shutter. If you don't want the outlined version, then select the "NoOutline(LeftShutterPeekPocket)" part under the Body, and export that.

Happy Valentine's day!
