Gothic Snow White Reliquary - Hybrid Prop

Bring your dark fantasy cosplays to life! This project is a gothic re-imagining of the iconic Huntsman's box and Snow White's heart. It's designed as a hybrid maker project, combining the organic details of 3D printing with the crisp geometry of laser cutting.

Key Features:

• The Gothic Heart (3D Printed): A heavily detailed, armored anatomical heart featuring spikes, chains, and a royal crown. Designed to be painted with metallic and weathering effects for a dark, corrupted look.
• The Reliquary Box (Laser Cut): An intricately patterned wooden box. The delicate cutouts are designed to allow light to spill through, casting beautiful, eerie shadows.
• Illumination Ready: The box is sized to accommodate a bed of fabric (silk/satin) and a small string of battery-operated LED fairy lights at the bottom to give the heart a "glowing" or "beating" aura.

(Printing & Build Instructions)

• 3D Print (Heart): Can be printed in FDM (high resolution, 0.12mm layer height recommended) or Resin for maximum detail on the crown and spikes. Tree supports are highly recommended.
• Laser Cut (Box): Designed for 3mm or 4mm plywood/MDF. Ensure your kerf settings are dialed in for the finger joints to assemble snugly. Glue is recommended for final stability.
• Assembly & Finishing: * Paint the wooden box with a dark wood stain or black paint.
  • Prime the heart in black, dry-brush with metallic reds, golds, and silvers to highlight the mechanical/gothic elements.
  • Hide a small LED string light wire beneath a piece of pink/red fabric inside the box.
