Take a unique sand heart photo at the beach 🏖️ with this 3D printed template!

STEP 1: Dig a hole about 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter and depth.

STEP 2: Insert the sand heart template and fill the outside with sand until firm.

STEP 3: Fill the outside of the heart template with sand and firmly pack it.

STEP 4: Remove the template and put your phone in the hole to take your best beach photo! 🏖️

Photo recommendations: use the 10s timer feature on your phone to give yourself plenty of time to get the phone setup properly. If you're using the front facing camera, I recommend using the button at the bottom to give a wider angle view.

There are 2 different types of models available:

• One to print in vase mode with reinforcing ribs and reduce the amount of material used
• One solid model with wall thickness sized to perfectly fit 3 wall loops (0.4mm nozzle).

Design inspiration: I was at the beach with my girlfriend and she wanted to take one of the viral heart sand photos. We spent probably 30-40 minutes digging the shape of a heart and were unable to get the photo just right, and gave up. I thought having a heart shaped template to fill would make the process 10x easier, so I designed this!
