Model Overview & Print Notes
FlexiHeart is a 3D-printed heart with an open lattice structure designed to be shaped using heat and a press mold. When heated with a heat gun or hair dryer, the model becomes soft and flexible. In this state, the heart is formed using a press mold, creating a smooth, convex, three-dimensional shape.
After forming, the outer contour can be carefully fixed by welding along the edge with a soldering iron, permanently locking the shape. Once cooled, the heart retains its final form and becomes rigid and durable.
This project combines design, functionality, and interactivity — the final shape is created not only by the 3D printer, but also by the user.
