Givenchy Gift Bag

For Valentine's Day, I purchased a Givenchy lipstick for my wife. The lipstick itself is modestly priced, and its packaging is quite simple. To imbue this simple gift with a more ceremonial feel, I 3D printed some roses and created this Givenchy tote bag model to house both the lipstick and the roses.

The model's longest side is slightly less than 180mm, allowing it to be printed on the A1 mini. While the main body appears to be merely a rectangular box, the velvety surface necessitates a lengthy print time of 10 hours on the A1 mini. Those considering this model should plan accordingly.

I utilized black PLA Matte filament for the body and handles, and I am quite pleased with the results. Due to the considerable time investment, I haven't explored other color schemes, though a gray and white combination might be appealing, particularly with an H2D printer.

For the inscription, I employed leftover scraps of silver silk filament, achieving satisfactory results. However, I suspect a metallic PLA would yield superior aesthetics. The inscription's integration is straightforward, requiring a small amount of adhesive to secure it firmly.

Before attaching the inscription, remove the supports from the recessed lettering on the main body. All support locations are illustrated below:

The supports in the first line of text can be easily removed with flush-cut pliers; the second line, due to its fine lettering, requires a craft knife or similar tool. As the second line doesn't require inscription attachment, you may also leave its supports undisturbed.

The handle module is assembled using 1.75mm filament. The ease of assembly depends on the chosen printing material. After numerous trials, the current dimensions coupled with PLA Matte filament provide an optimal balance of ease of installation and rotational resistance.

I am quite satisfied with the roses depicted in the main image; they are a hybrid creation from two distinct rose models:
