This printed so great right from the 3mf file! It was a lot of fun to assemble. Though, I did not fill out 14 love notes lol My kids were having fun helping me assemble the flowers too! Thank you!
What an amazing model! It printed so well and went together cleanly. My wife even said “that is really cute”, which is high praise considering most of the time the lack of appreciation of what I print is strong. Ha!

As other's have said, I'm losing hearts left and right on my bedslinger. That's even after I slowed down the print speeds.
I hope ForgeCore will make adjustments to the 3mf file. Or at least publish some advice in the description.
The flowers are relatively light and the stems are pretty strong. I haven't seen any sagging from the flowers personally but if it is a big worry for you, It may not hurt to use a stronger material as long as you have good print settings for it.
Hi! I know it can be a little confusing since the stems are flat and the holes are round, but yes, they’re designed to fit a bit loosely in the pot. This allows you to position them however you’d like, no matter which way the pot is oriented. If you prefer a more permanent fit, you can secure them with a small amount of super glue. Just to clarify any confusion, the stems are flat on one side to make them easier to print and more reliable for everyone. I hope this helps!
You need to make sure you have really good bed adhesion, so you will want to wash your build plate with dish soap and warm water. You may also need to up your z-hop if the nozzle is the part causing it to knock over. (hit the 3 dots next to your filamen -> edit -> settings override -> select "z-hop when retract" and change it to .6-.8)
If you're having problems printing the hearts (I did) it's because some of them have floating bits. The far left row of hearts (the ones with the little feet sticking up higher) won't print properly. If you print two sets of the middle row instead it should work fine. I also printed with a brim and in batches of 4-5 just in case.
Been having the same issue as many others have pointed: struggling to print the branches and the hearts, and would love to be able to print one of them at a time, but the objects are locked. Any chances of getting a version where the objects can be split for easier print manipulation?
Beautiful design and I can't wait to get this print finished.
While it would add seams, would it be possible add the option for the stems to be printed in smaller pieces so that it can fit on smaller printers? The A1 Mini only has a 180mm build volume, and I haven't found a way to make them fit yet.
Even the smaller stem is too large for the A1 Mini, unfortunately. I'm trying the entire print at 70% scale, printed at a .12mm, I'll report back 👍
Edit: It worked! At 70% scale, I did end up having to reprint two flowers that broke when trying to snap into the branch. Not sure if it was because of scale, old/cheap filament, or a combo of the two. Overall success!
Hello, I don't have a 3d printer of my own, part of the requirements is the size of each item. is there a way ti access this through the download or could you send it to me?
The stems are quite long. Everything in the model is designed to print on a bambu lab printer, which is 250 mm wide. SO just make sure who-ever prints this for you has a build plate of a least that size
Hello :) I am not a big 3D printer, but my boyfriend LOVES bleeding hearts, so I really want to try making this for Vday. Would this work on a Prusa MK4? Is there anything I should adjust to make that work? Thank you so much xx
Edit: I also only have access to PLA filament, should I scale everything down, or just the hearts for a tighter fit
I struggled trying to keep the flowers on the stems. They would not grip the stem bulb enough to hold on. Machine and filament has been dimensionally calibrated so not sure what the trick is. However, model assembly looks amazing after a little gloop on the flowers. Beautiful model and nice work.
You may need to rotate it slightly or move it around to make sure it fits. Its designed to work with that size plate, that's the same plate I printed it with (:
If you use the Easy Print 3mf file it should load in oriented to print right away

I updated the 3mf file! Made some tweaks and set the hearts to print by object. Should print much better for you now if you re-download!
Try adding a brim in the slicer. A little bit of a pain to remove after, but that will probably keep them from coming off during the print.
Do you have an STL of just a single flower? I’ve tried the full set three times, but inevitably one flower will fail and it causes a chain reaction.
Right click on the group of them and select split into objects. That's what I had to do
Can you provide a single heart STL file so I can test printing one before printing all of them please? Thanks!
Added!
Awesome design, love it.
Thanks! Can't wait to see your Make
Are the blossoms light enough that the stem will last a long time in that position? If not, would it help if I printed the stems in ABS?
The flowers are relatively light and the stems are pretty strong. I haven't seen any sagging from the flowers personally but if it is a big worry for you, It may not hurt to use a stronger material as long as you have good print settings for it.
Are the stems supposed to be loose in the soil or am I missing something?
With the soil holes being round, and the stems having flat sides...

I've tried to print the hearts 3 times, so far and keep failing :( Any advice? I'm using a bambu P1S

Hola, I have a K1C 3d printer and new on this 3D printing. If I used the 3mf file can I change the printer or the tile is only for Bambu printer?
You should be able to use Bambu Studio even with a K1C.

Thanks for the feedback, just updated the model so the hearts print by object! Will solve your issue so please re-download and print from the new 3mf

You can Print the smaller stem twice!
OR, cut the bottom of the larger one off in the slicer so it can fit on your place.
Seams would make the stems too weak, so try one of those 2 option and you should be good (:

You may have to split the branches into individual parts in the slicer. I'd recommend scaling the hearts down to 98% or 99% so they fit more snug

This was designed to be printed with wood filament, which makes the fit a little tighter since its more abrasive.
But If you're using a standard PLA filament and the fit is still loose you can scale the flowers down to 97 or 98% and the fit should be more snug!
One of the steams does not fit on P1S plate
You may need to rotate it slightly or move it around to make sure it fits. Its designed to work with that size plate, that's the same plate I printed it with (:
