Here is a new design for my slinkies collection.Other models available here: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/@rky.91/collections/510046" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/@rky.91/collections/510046</a>&nbsp;This is a cute heart-shaped slinky that&#39;s easy to print. No support required. The model is 10cm tall and I printed mine using Bambulab Silk PLA. Feel free to try more crazy colors!&nbsp;After printing, gently separate all the coils of the toy: It shouldn&#39;t be difficult to separate the first coil. You can start the process using the tip of a small knife by prying into one of the gaps between the coils.&nbsp;Please ignore the warning about the &#39;floating cantilever&#39; that appears before slicing: the model leaves small gaps by design.&nbsp;You can scale the template in the X or Y direction to make the heart shape bigger. I recommend keeping the height as it is.&nbsp;&nbsp;Below are some of the beautiful prints from the community&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50.88%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/825642/2024-01-30_7ec7538deb44b.jpg"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:49.77%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/825642/2024-01-30_e6bdfd8ecc641.jpg"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:48.8%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/825642/2024-01-30_51fd7f4cddd1c.jpg"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:48.48%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/825642/2024-01-30_69552a529ea14.jpg"></figure>

Heart Slinky

Slinkies Collection

Since I would like have the chance to swap different designs with a single lightbox, I modeled this engineered frame.&nbsp;I also created a <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/169912#profileId-186594" rel="nofollow noopener">container for the plates</a> design that also functions as a riser for the lightbox itself.Remember to check out my <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/u/1679778733/collections/506498" rel="nofollow noopener">collection of swappable front plates</a> for new designs.&nbsp;Attention: during the printing turn off completely the auxiliary fan to avoid warping of the model.&nbsp;It's really sturdy, easy to print without supports and easy to assemble.&nbsp;It features (see model images for details):<ul><li>Press-fit back cover with holes for wall mount and cutouts for cable management.</li><li>Holes caps for hiding wall mount holes when non used.</li><li>Internal indentation for led strip alignment. Placing the led around th walls, the light turns to be really soft with no visible spots.</li><li>Removable press-fit front cover for lightbox design change.</li></ul>I lit the box with a USB powered 5V RGB led strip and connected to the P1S led in order to control it by the printer system.&nbsp;  <figure class="image image_resized" style="width:55.49%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/490309/2024-02-03_e7057b443aa2d.jpg"></figure><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:55.4%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/490309/2024-02-03_db50a4c0a5c67.jpg"></figure>
