Lit Candy Cane Hearts

Parametric creator for parts that can have Christmas Candy Canes (ex: 28" lighted variety) mount so they form a heart shape for Valentines day. There is also a mounting hole(s) so a spike (3/8") can be used to place the heart on the ground.

Other options in the SCAD file allow for having multiple spikes, or for a top piece to help fold the top ends (where the curve ends) closer together, or a "clover" version that puts 2 hearts perpendicular to each other (using 4 candy canes).

Included are also a variety of .stl files for the most common (28") walkway candy canes. These are typically sold in sets of 3, so if you put 2 sets together you can make a row of 3 hearts.

I printed PLA versions of medium clover and 4 medium hearts on a Snapmaker in Fast Print mode and had them outside for over a month with no problems at all. No supports or rafts were needed.
