Storage tube with profile of a classic Valentine's Heart.
Designed in FreeCAD using B-Splines. Since these can not be given an offset in FreeCAD, the master was copied and manually scaled as required. Wall thickness on the "Innie" is about 1 - 1.5 mm. This gives a nice clean and consistent finish when printed. The "Outie" wall thickness is 1.5 - 2 mm. When printed with a single Perimeter Shell and Gyroid infill at 10%, this gives a lovely mottled appearance. Both shells should be printed with "Transparent" filament for best effect.
Overall dimensions are 100 mm diameter, each shell base 10 mm thick, each shell 180 mm long. Overall length when nested is 200 mm.
Clearance between shells is about 0.4 mm. This makes for a tight, almost air-tight, fit.
I printed my version with Seam Aligned and Scarf Everywhere. Innie is generic transparent white PETG, Outie is Prusament Carmine Red PETG. Printing time on CORE One is almost 6 hours and uses 180 g filament.
