The idea for my 3D printed puzzle with a hidden message of love inside came to me one day as I was thinking about creative ways to express my love and affection for my partner. I wanted to find a way to surprise and delight them with something special and unique, something that would capture the essence of our relationship and the depth of my feelings.

As I was brainstorming ideas, I remembered a childhood toy called a "shadow cube," which was a small plastic cube with cutouts on each side that created different shadow patterns when the cube was placed in front of a light source. I thought it would be fun to create a modern version of this toy using 3D printing technology, and to add a romantic twist by including a hidden message of love inside.

I decided to use Tinkercad, a popular 3D modeling software, to design my puzzle. I started by creating a cube and then adding holes on each face, experimenting with different sizes and shapes to achieve the desired shadow effect.

I was so pleased with the outcome of my project that I decided to share it with others who might be looking for a creative and heartfelt way to express their love on Valentine's Day or any other day of the year. I hope that my 3D printed puzzle with a hidden message of love will inspire others to find their own unique and special ways to share their feelings with the ones they love.
