Could you ever trust somebody that much?

No way! It’s not even a matter of trusting the person… way too much that could go wrong.

I like this one a bunch!!! Yes…I can see the faces. :wink:

I am working on a design…we will see if I complete it in metal. :wink:

I remixed on the items from my previous post and another heart from another printable artist.

It would be interesting to see how that turns out with plasma. It looks like water was jetted out or laser-cut.

I think that is the 3D Printed version. The various thicknesses of material would be hard to do with Plasma cutter (other than multiple pieces).

This is how I envisioned it without the heart included, just for illustration.
Cut this as one piece and paint brown, black or silver:

Then cut these pieces to lay on top to give depth. Paint these pieces green:

Then the roses would be cut out. Painted red and then bonded on top:

The look you saw in the other post is a rendering from Fusion:

Now I am thinking “layered” might be over-rated. One of you fancy powder coaters could make this look nice.

Here is a flattened version of that file:

I would not be afraid to take a swing at the layered pattern after paint. That is where locktite 682(?) comes in, even decent superglue.

Sounds like some reverse psychology there. Buy her a a dozen this year and watch her face.

What I’ve done for my wife a couple times over the years is I’ll just phone the flower store and order a ridiculously big tall flower bouquet and have it delivered to her office. She says it’s embarrassing but I know she loves it.

Been there, tried that.

Well, I can understand that! Her coworkers probably know what you look like with that scary smile! I WOULD be embarrassed to get flowers from you!

I think Tom might be right. I keep telling you “Less is more. Try it without the balloon this year!”

Another heart box project with flat pattern I designed this morning.

I am curious if this will work? I don t have time to cut it my self currently

designed for 14 ga

could also paint one side of the sheet a different colour before folding for a neat effect.

The flat pattern has relief slits so you should be able to hand form this .
