Unlock the charm of affection with the "Pixel-Heart Keepsake," a uniquely designed 3D-printed trinket that embodies love in a modern, polygonal fashion. This low poly heart is not just a visually striking piece but also a functional keepsake, equipped with a hinged opening secured by a filament latch.
Tools Needed:
Step 1: Align the Halves Place the two halves of the heart on top of each other as if the heart is closed, ensuring that the hinge mechanisms on each half line up perfectly.
Step 2: Insert the Filament Take your piece of filament and align it with the holes of the hinge mechanism at the top of the heart. Press the filament firmly into the hinge hole, ensuring it goes through both halves of the heart. This may require some force as the fit is intentionally tight to ensure the hinge remains secure.
Step 3: Secure the Hinge Once the filament is pushed all the way through, it should protrude slightly from the other side. Check that the heart opens and closes properly.
Step 4: Trim the Excess Filament Using your cutting tool, trim off the excess filament from both sides of the hinge. Be careful to cut it flush with the edge of the heart so that no sharp edges protrude.
Step 5: Test the Functionality Open and close the heart to ensure that the hinge operates smoothly and the heart closes securely.
Your Pixel-Heart Keepsake is now assembled and ready to be filled with tiny treasures and memories. Enjoy your new charming accessory!
