Custom Map Heart – Personal Location Street Art

Update 06.02.2025:

Hi everyone! ❤️

I’ve updated the Valentine Heart model again:

• The stand has been improved and now includes supports for a more reliable print.
• The text is now built into the model, so it can be printed directly on the build plate.

This reduces filament waste massively (far fewer filament changes) and makes the print much faster.

______________________________________________

This project combines emotion + customization + smart geometry.

The idea is simple:

A heart, a stand, and a hidden negative volume that does the magic.

You can place any city, street layout or personal location inside the heart – perfectly aligned, clean, and without overlaps.

✨ Concept

The heart model is surrounded by a large negative body.

This negative volume ensures that imported street maps never overlap or stick out, no matter how complex the roads are.

Your personal street map becomes part of the heart – clean, precise, and printable.

🗺️ Create Your Own Map (STL)

I built a custom web app that converts real locations into clean, printable street STL files:

👉 Map to STL App

CLICK HERE

Click on Map → STL

In the app you can:

• Enter any location worldwide
• Select street types (city, paths, highways, etc.)
• Choose center marker (heart, star, pin, circle or none)
• Adjust radius, line width, height and model size
• Export a ready-to-use STL

I would recommend this settings.

Click Export STL

🛠️ How to Assemble in Bambu Studio

1. Import your map STL generated from the app

   

2. Place the map inside the heart (as shown in the screenshots

     3. Set exact coordinates:

• X: 0
• Y: 0
• Z: -12 mm (It seems that -11.5 mm is perfect on top of the heart.)

• 

4. Set the Color

 5. The negative volume automatically:

• Cuts the streets perfectly
• Prevents overlaps
• Keeps everything flush and clean

No boolean operations needed.

No manual cutting.

Just align and print.

🎁 Perfect For

• Couples & anniversaries
• Wedding locations
• First date memories
• Birthplaces
• Travel memories
• Personalized gifts

Each heart tells your story.
