Personalized Gifts, Printed with Love
Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love, and what better way to show you care than with a gift made from the heart? At Flashforge, we believe that the most meaningful presents aren’t just bought—they’re created. This year, we’ve gathered stories from our users who turned their creativity into unforgettable gifts with their 3D printers.
Stories of Love and Creativity
Gift That Keeps on Giving
“When my wife gifted me a 3D printer for Christmas, I couldn’t wait to start creating gifts for her!” shared one of our users, Ralph, an Adventurer 5M Pro owner. From anniversary roses printed in matte red filament to a Valentine’s Day knitted teddy bear, his creativity knew no bounds.
With his Flashforge printer, he found endless possibilities—not just for his wife, but for friends and even himself. “I seem to be printing something every day, whether it’s a gift or a useful tool that I need. This is truly a gift that keeps on giving!”
At Flashforge, we love seeing how 3D printing brings creativity and personal touch to special moments. With the Adventurer 5M Pro, he’s turning thoughtful ideas into reality, one layer at a time.

Flashforge 3D printers aren’t just for making things—they spark creativity, fun, and even a little mystery! At one school, a group of eighth-graders turned their Flashforge AD5M into a tool for excitement, printing Rocktopi and secretly hiding them around the building. The younger students went wild searching for them, and even the teachers grew curious about the mysterious creators.
The fun didn’t stop there. They held a competition to see whose Rocktopus could stay hidden the longest, with one still undiscovered in the gym! To celebrate their friend’s clever hiding skills, they printed him a golden Rocktopus—and for his birthday, they made him an even bigger one.

Though their relationship had changed, the gesture embodied his commitment to stand by her side through both the good and the bad times.
Thanks to the versatility of the Flashforge AD5M, Ronald was able to personalize the gift, creating a one-of-a-kind item that was as meaningful as it was beautiful. Flashforge 3D printers allow for the customization of gifts that carry deep personal significance, perfect for moments that matter most.

3D Printed Vases for a Golden Anniversary Celebration
For a special golden anniversary celebration, a Flashforge AD5M user created beautiful, personalized vases for their in-laws’ 50th anniversary. Inspired by the idea of a centerpiece, they printed two unique vase designs using gold filament, adding a touch of elegance to each table. The vases were filled with white roses and baby’s breath, creating a stunning visual. The in-laws and guests were so impressed that they kept one of each vase design and gave the rest as gifts. Flashforge printers empower users to create memorable, heartfelt gifts that make any occasion truly special.

Creating Custom Watermarks with Flashforge Printers
Laue Andreas shared a creative project where he used his Flashforge AD3P to craft custom watermarks for paper. Starting with a design program like Inkscape, he created his watermark in an SVG format and then converted it into a 3D model using Free-CAD. By defining the thickness of the design to 1-2mm and converting all open spaces into solid blocks, he was able to create a 3D object perfect for printing. With FlashPrint, he adjusted the dimensions to suit the paper-making process, printing the watermark in a fine 0.6-0.8mm thickness. This unique method enabled him to add a personal, professional touch to the paper, showcasing how Flashforge empowers users to bring their creative ideas to life.
