Better Bouquet Bundle - Chocolate, Photo, Ring Box Holders

Elevate your flower gifting with the Better Bouquet Bundle - featuring the Lindt Lindor Ball Bouquet Brackets, the Perfect Posy Photo Pickets, and the Romancer's Ring Rack.

Simply print the models you need as many times as you need them and complete the basic assembly instructions below before poking them into the bouquet to fill any gaps with gorgeous, smooth chocolates and photos of your love, with a ring box holder for a centrepiece. 

Ball Brackets

1. Print an equal number of sticks and ball brackets on seperate plates. Be sure to add brim to the brackets plate, but not the stick plate.  The slice settings I used on my E3V3Plus usin OrcaSlicer were the standard 0.16mm layer height profile on PLA+, only changing the brim setting with no supports.  
2. Clean the brim from the cups entirely, you can hit the edges of the plastic with a flame to remelt the white edges left by the brim removal but DON'T sit on any one spot for any length of time, it's thin and flexible but that means it is just waiting for an excuse to melt. Insert the stick into the bottom of the cup, this should press fit relatively well. If you have any slippage issues, just add a dot of your favourite glue to hold it in place. Any stringing in the overhang at the apex of the cup will benefit you, not hinder.  
3. Insert your Lindor Ball into your assembled bracket, and you're done!

Photo Pickets

1. Print as many of the Photo Pickets file as you intend to fill. No brim or supports needed here, fill your plate. (Use Shorty Picket if you have a build area of under 265x265cm)
2. Take the Stick side, add a dot of glue to the raised area near the stick at the bottom of the heart, and place the lone heart piece on top to create a heart on a stick with a slit between the heart sides. 
3. Insert your photos or notes, if your pictures are thinner than the gap and won't stay, you can either put two photos in double sided, glue or tape down the one photo, or if you're brave, decrease the height of the model in your slicer. 

Ring Rack

1. Print the Ring Rack file and test your ring box in the claw - if it's large enough and you've printed in PLA or another rigid material, this may have enough tension by itself to hold onto the box. If so, you're done!
2. If the fit is loose, you'll need to slide the collar over the bottom of the stake, wider end facing the claw. Bring it over the bottom of the prongsd and up the claw until it grips your ring box tightly. If the friction of the piece holds it, you're done here, otherwise add a drop of glue to hold it in place.

Final Assembly

1. With all your finished pieces ready, grab your bouquet, place it in a sturdy vase or jug, and assess the gaps in the bouquet. This works best in cheaper arrangements as there is usually quite a bit of room to work with, but more elaborate ones can work with a little finesse. 
2. Starting with the ring box, find or make room in the place your eyes go to as soon as you see the bouquet. Gentle poke the stake down the bouquet until the box looks right. 
3. Take your photos and poke the stakes into the bouquet in an even scatter, keeping in mind the height of the surrounding blooms and leaves.
4. Fill in all the spaces with Lindor ball stakes in the same manner as you placed the photos. 
5. If you have a note or card, you can use a photo picket to hold it in the bouquet if you choose.
