You Make My Heart Melt Shadow Box

This one is all about a dripping heart with a fun Valentine message. It’s simple, bold, and prints really nicely once everything is stacked together.

The layers are what make this one work. The drips give it depth without making it complicated, and the text sits on top cleanly so it stays readable after printing.

Printing notes

Bright colors work best here. I’d stick to matte filaments if you have them, they keep everything looking sharp and avoid weird reflections. If you want to add light behind it, lighter colors on the lower layers help a lot.

No AMS or MMU needed, just manual filament swaps.
