Create the perfect Valentine’s Day accessory with this 3D-printable Bic lighter sleeve, featuring elegant heart-shaped cutouts that add a touch of romance to a practical item. The design celebrates both the warmth of love and the spark that keeps it alive, making it a meaningful and functional gift. Thoughtfully crafted to fit standard BiC lighters, this sleeve is as stylish as it is symbolic - perfect for printing a last-minute Valentine's Day gift and igniting more than just flames.
A small groove at the base securely holds the lighter in place, preventing it from sliding through.
To ensure a smooth print without overhangs or misprints, this design should be printed with the hearts facing upside-down.
0.15mm layer height works well with at least 10% rectilinear infill pattern.
Remove the part after the print sheet has cooled, then flex the sheet to release it.
Print and use this 3D printed BIC lighter sleeve at your own risk. I assume no liability for any damage, injury, or malfunction arising from its use, misuse, or from the characteristics of the material you choose to print it with.
This case is made to fit standard size J6 Bic lighters without additional plastic wraps or shrink coverings.
Please keep in mind: Different filaments can vary in their physical properties, which affects how they behave during extrusion. This can have an impact on the fit of the BIC sleeve.
Should the cover be too loose, please consider the following options:
adding some tape around the lighter.
consider re-scaling the width of the object in your slicer between -0.25 mm and -0.5 mm.
Should the cover be too tight, please consider the following option:
You can print this with three perimeters for extra strength, but be aware that the lighter will fit much more tightly. If you choose to do this, proceed at your own risk: gently warm the 3D-printed sleeve with a heat gun and carefully press the lighter into place while the material is slightly pliable.
A hole at the bottom allows for easy removal when it’s time to replace the lighter.
Enjoy!
