For our first 3D print Dean Grout allowed the class to search the internet for existing 3D printing files to print. I chose to print a secret heart box that I found on Thingiverse. My first attempt at the print the nossle on the printer fell of its mount which hinder the print from finishing.

My second attempt at printing the heart box I decided to scale the print down hoping that it would fix the problem. Unfortunately it only created a different problem, the print finished but it doesn't have the rounded edges the first print had and it also doesn't open.

Here is a video of how the print was suppose to look and function:
