Description
Showcase your favorite memories with this elegant, heart-shaped photo holder!
This design is fully parametric and optimized for support-free printing. Whether you have classic Polaroids, Instax Minis, Instax Wides, or a custom photo size, this holder can be adjusted to fit perfectly.
The heart stands upright with a stable, chamfered base that prints flat on the build plate without any overhangs exceeding 45°.
Customization Guide 🛠
Visit my MakerWorld profile for the SCAD file and customisation options.
Photo Size
- Photo Type: Select from presets: Polaroid, Instax Mini, Instax Wide, or Custom.
- Custom Dimensions: If using Custom, exact millimeters for width and height can be set.
Heart Shape
- Heart Width: Adjust the overall size of the heart (default: 60mm).
- Heart Thickness: Thickness of the main slab (default: 6mm).
- Edge Rounding: Smoothness of the heart's edges.
Photo Slot
- Slot Depth: How deep the photo sits inside the heart.
- Slot Gap & Tolerance: Fine-tune the fit for your printer's accuracy and photo paper thickness.
Base Stability
- Foot Extension: Controls how far the base sticks out front/back to prevent tipping.
- Base Height & Width: Adjust the dimensions of the stabilizing foot.
Printing Recommendations 🖨
- Orientation: Print as downloaded (upright). The base is designed to sit flat on the bed.
- Supports: None required! The design uses 45° chamfers to ensure stability without support material.
- Layer Height: 0.2mm or finer for a smooth heart curve.
- Infill: 15-20% is sufficient.
- Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS working great. Silk PLA looks especially nice for the heart finish.
