Romantic STL Files to Celebrate Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day, or the feast of Saint Valentine, most likely has its origins in Ancient Rome. The celebration is one of the most popular holidays around the world as a mark of romance and love. If you want to give a personal touch to this day, take a look at some of the below ideas for 3D printed gifts. Below, you will find a list with the 10 most original STL files to 3D print directly at home or through a 3D printing service for Valentine’s Day. All the models can be downloaded through Cults. From jewelry, flowers and hearts, to all kinds of romantic and original objects, it is definitely not to miss! We wish you all a happy Valentine’s Day!
A Locked Love Ring
Jewelry is a must for Valentine’s Day! And this year, we suggest that you 3D print a ring symbolizing eternal love. It was designed by Cults user Fischfluous in two parts, and the two intertwined hearts actually represent where the ‘braid’ of the ring is unravelling. Interestingly, the creator originally began creating it as an engagement ring, before it became this special creation. The STL file is available from $9.87 on Cults and was designed for a size 7. And if you aren’t keen on rings, the designer has also made other 3D models of jewelry, including a ‘three hearts’ necklace, so you can pick your perfect design.
An Ever-Lasting Synthetic Flower
The fresh bouquet of roses, romance incarnate, has become a Valentine’s day classic. But like all flowers, roses too will wither and die. PLA, on the other hand, is forever. So, if you’re looking for a less ephemeral manifestation of love, these 3D printed synthetic flowers are the perfect choice. This 3D model comprises 3D printable components to be super-glued together to create individual flowers. These include a flat leaf base for the final piece, a stem, a foliage of three to five leaves which should later be attached to the base, a chalice formed by four sepals, petals, and finally, a heart on which the petals close.
A Heart-Shaped Bookmark
Would you like to give something more original than roses and chocolate? If you have a 3D printer at home and your partner is a book lover, why not try this next idea? This 3D file consists of a heart-shaped bookmark that will serve as a reminder of which page of your favorite book you were reading. The 3D model can be printed in one piece using any color of filament, although obviously red or pink would be the most suitable. It weighs 2 grams and measures 70 x 75 x 2.5 mm. A practical, simple and yet romantic gift that you can 3D print for this Valentine’s Day! We also really like how practical this gift is, as it can be used all year round.
8 Bit Heart Chocolate Mold STL File for Valentine’s Day Treats
Probably the number one gift we think of for this special day is chocolate! While 3D printing it directly from your own home is not quite yet possible, you can still join in on the fun of 3D printed food this Valentine’s Day with this incredible 8-bit heart chocolate mold casting! Once the 3D printed mold is complete, just put in melted chocolate of whatever flavor you prefer – you can even combine different ones, and add crushed nuts or fruit in depending on preference! Then, refrigerate until solid to create your very own chocolate heart lollipops, perfect for sharing with a loved one. What’s even better, this file is free (chocolate not included!).
Romantic Tealight Holder
If there’s one thing you can’t miss on this special day, it’s candles! Something often disregarded, however, is the perfect unit in which to keep them. This 3D model of a candle holder is just that – with a heart shape and a relief which resembles rose petals, this is romantic and stylish all at once. In addition, the space for a small candle is perfect to provide ambient lighting… ideal for a romantic Valentine’s dinner! We really like the design of the rose petals, and with a red or pink material it would look very flower-like.The author of the 3D model states that no support structure is needed to print it and it is recommended to use PLA at 150 microns Z-axis resolution, 15% infill and a print speed of 75 mm/s.
A Geometric Heart Keyring for Valentine’s Day
What’s the key to your love’s heart? It could be many things, but regardless of what it actually is, they sure will need a key ring to hold it. Why not print this geometric heart keyring using this STL file in time for Valentine’s Day? Unlike some of the more traditional hearts, the design of this heart is a little more creative, allowing you to express your appreciation of the season of love in a modern way. The file is downloadable free from cults and results in a heart of 52x45x7mm (not recommended to resize). The creator, Cancore_3D, notes that no supports or rafts are needed for this design and that for the model the settings were 30% infill, 200 microns, 25mm/s.
Heart-shaped Lockable Box
If you want to give a really cute and practical gift for a loved one, consider this heart-shaped storage box. From precious keepsakes to favorite jewelry pieces, this will look perfect stored in your bedroom, and indeed, as the creator says, the box is useful not only as a gift but also for everyday life. The special feature of this is that it comes with a printable key, so you can keep your possessions safe! The files for the box and key come separately, but both are available for free on cults. The uploader, PA1_MAKER, offers extensive instructions about the optimum print settings, so be sure to check those out before you get started. Enjoy!
Pixel Heart Earrings
Jewelry is a classic present, no matter the occasion. If you want to give something as a permanent reminder of your love, consider these stylish earrings. These pixel heart earrings will be a perfect gift for that special someone on Valentine’s Day, and what’s even better is that you can adjust the height of the model so you can easily switch between the three colors: the white mark, the red heart, and the black background. The creator, Aguslusky, recommends a print resolution of 0.15 / 0.20 mm, and no supports are needed.
Mr and Mrs Egg Cups for Valentine’s Day Morning
Healthy breakfasts can be perfected with these egg cups for him and her! Ideal for boiled or runny eggs, these cups will brighten up your mornings, and what’s more, the file is available cost-free. The stl file is available from Formbyte, a well-established creator on Cults, and you are recommended to print with ceramics, but resins and metals are also possible. The recommended print settings are Layer height: 0.1 – 0.2 mm Infill: 50 %Speed: 50 mm/s. We really like this option because it won’t only be used on Valentine’s Day; the egg cups can be used all year round. It’s truly unique, and not something you will find in the supermarket!
Bottle Holder For Evening Celebrations
Lots of people enjoy a celebratory drink with a loved one on Valentine’s Day, and how about combining this with a gift to kill two birds with one stone? With this stl file from Homardesign on Cults, you can store your wine bottles in a heart-shaped unit. This design is available for free, and with 166 downloads has certainly proved popular without being commonplace! We particularly like the unique shape of this design, as it is certainly unlike a conventional bottle holder. You can pick whatever colour you like: the blue in the image is a stylish choice, but if you want to follow the romantic theme you can of course go for red or pink. Cheers!
