Heart Lamp

I designed this Heart Lamp to be more than just a 3D print; I wanted it to be a piece of high-quality decor. It features a super clean heart silhouette and a smart cable management system on the back so you don’t have messy wires everywhere. It's the perfect project to add a cozy, warm vibe to any room! ;)

Design Concept

The heart has a built-in channel for LED strips, and the stand comes in two versions:

You can print the Normal Stand if you want it simple and easy,
or the Fillable Stand if you want to add weight to it, with filling it with things like sand or gravel, as example, to give it a premium, heavy, more high-quality feel.

Printing Tips

If you want to Print the "Stand - Fillable", you have to pause the Print at the right layer.

To make things easy for you, I’ve already uploaded the Print Settings (3MF file) with the pause already set up (at the Fillable Stand)! If you use my file, the printer will stop exactly where it needs to.

If you want to slice the Fillable Stand manually, here’s how:

Download all files you need.
Open your Creality Slicer, and click "Add Plate" two times, so you have 3 plates.
Import the files you downloaded and split them on the 3 Plates as shown on the following picture:
(The order of the Plates doesn't matter)
Slice the Fillable Stand
On the right side of the screen, there is a vertical slider that lets you see the print layer by layer. Slide it down to the layer where the filling chamber is still open, but the very next layer it starts to print on top of it as shown on the following picture(s).
Right-click the "+" icon on the slider and click "Add Pause."
Now you can select custom settings you'd like to have :)
But please print the "Fill Top/Lit" first, and then the Fillable Stand
Your Printer will stop at this layer automatically. Now fill the chamber with sand or small stones (also salt should be possible), and put the "Fill Top/Lit" on top of it (as shown on the following videos/pictures), so your Printer has a solid base to print on.

Then resume the print and watch how it goes.

⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING: The filling must be completely flat and MUST NOT stick out above the printed walls. If it doesn't lines up, remove some of the filling so it lines up; otherwise the nozzle could hit it on the next layer, which may ruin your print and seriously damage your printer!

Use

Valentine's Favorite: A great gift for someone special.
Modern Style: Clean lines that look great in any room.
Stable Design: The fillable base makes it feel solid and professional.

Assembly Instructions

What you need:

Heart Model (x1)
Stand (Normal or Fillable) (x1)
Fill Top / Lid (x1) – This goes on top of the filling!
Cable Strip (x1) – The small clip for the back.
LED Strip: 10mm to 12mm wide (10mm is recommended so it fits easier around the curves).
Filling: Sand, gravel, or pebbles (please avoid salt, as it can damage electronics over time!).

How to assemble:

LED Installation: Glue your LED strip into the channel inside the Heart. Start at the bottom and work your way aroundFill the Stand: Use the "Pause" method mentioned above. Fill it up, make sure it’s flat, and finish the printThe Fill Top: Once the stand is done, place the Fill Top / Lid part on it to seal everything up and create a clean surfaceMount the Heart: Push the heart into the slot on the stand. It should fit nice and snugRoute the Cable: Feed the LED wire through the hole in the stand and down the groove on the backFinal Clip: Take the Cable Strip and clip it into the holders on the back of the stand. This keeps the cable perfectly straight and tidy!

I spent many many hours designing and refining this model. If you like it, or just want to support Me and My Work, I would be really really happy about something like a Boost, Like, Favourite, a Follow, or even a Make!
