Valentine's Day 3D Printing Challenge: The Best 3D Prints To Express Love

We hope that your Valentine's Day was full of romance, love and... 3D printing, of course! Does it sound strange? Well, it should not. In case you somehow missed it - we had a Valentine's Day 3D Printing Challenge on CGTrader for a month.

We had another 3D printing challenge earlier - Christmas 3D Printing Challenge. So, we already knew that you like 3D printable gifts and decorations. Another thing which we already knew and could be made sure once again is that 3D designers, who sell their works on CGTrader, are creative and professional. They showed even more enthusiasm to participate in this challenge. There were 294 models uploaded by 73 users. We were amazed, to say the least. Lovely 3D printable hearts, vases for flowers, beautiful rings, pendants and all those original items that can make Valentine's Day more special - this is what was submitted for the challenge.

We present you the best 3D printable designs created for this challenge. CGTrader is not Cupido, of course, but it brings you a lot of love... 3D printable love. And we have a 3D printer for the author of the best portfolio, because love is not enough! Dear lovers, check what you missed and what you can still 3D print, if you have a 3D printer at home. Here they are - the best 3D printable items for Valentine's Day. Print your love.
