For my Valentine.
Video of prototype is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwIp1mJAwqk
You'll need a tea lamp that is 22mm or less in height, 38mm in diameter.
Designed using Fusion 360, sliced using Cura 2.3.1, and printed in PLA on an Ultimaker 3 Extended.
I printed "Base.stl" at 50% infill using Red PLA.
I printed "Heart.stl" at 100% infill with a brim using Transparent PLA. Printing at less than 100% is fine, you'll just see the infill pattern.
Prior to assembly, test fit and trim, file, sand, etc. all parts as necessary. Depending on the colors you chose and your printer settings, more or less trimming, filing and/or sanding may be required.
1) Remove the center support tower from inside "Heart.stl" by snapping it off.
2) Remove the "flame" diffusor from the tea lamp, then press it into "Base.stl".
3) Press "Heart.stl" into "Base.stl".
Hope your Valentine likes it as much as mine!

The heart was printed in ABS, the base in PLA. The center support post did come loose but the printer still printed it so it attached to the loose post and it worked out. The heart has some cracks because I print ABS without an enclosure.
