Special 3d printed box for my gf

Hello!

I have a question for you, am I the only one who uses my 3D printer to make the gift packaging unique?
what solution are you using when it’s not the gift that’s 3D printed, but the packaging?
I made a box the other day (btw I uploaded it here), but somehow I don’t feel it is special enough.
Does anyone have a really atmospheric, spectacular model or experience?

You can add better solutions in the comments :smiley:

I did the same thing for my wife. I designed a coat of arm and placed on the biggest box that could be printed on a P1P (about 10”x10”x10”).

It is based on this model:

WOW Thank you, this is really very nice design! :smiley: and motivating…
BTW as I see the printed part is smooth, nice job!

Something helpful related to this that I didn’t discover for a long time, is, in Bambu Studio you can right click on an object (say, a box) and add part > SVG - this lets you add all sorts of cool customizations to things easily.

Once the SVG object is added, you can check the ‘use surface’ option to make it wrap onto the surface, which is very useful for curved objects.

Thanks. The nice surface is the first layer on the build plate.

I made a special box that perfectly fit the necklace pendant I made for my girlfriend:

The hanger itself is a scan of my two hands making a heart shape. (or actually one hand mirrored because the photogrammetry was way off)

And I made a custom Lego set for a wedding that resembled their family and setting inside a Lego music box I designed:

And if anybody is interested, here is the complete model (any Lego config is possible of course):

So many cool ideas here. Fwiw, I like the box that you made for your gf.
