The purchase of a set of battery powered t-light candles inspired this project.
The candle is held in the base by a disk that is secured with super glue before the glass and top (which is part of an old water bottle) are glued.
STL’s I have uploaded for the top are for both as one part and as separates. The reason for this is that I hate using supports, I feel sometimes it is just a waste of filament, so I always try to find another way. If this means having to glue a part together I am happy to do that, but those who don’t mind I have included the top as one part that will need supports.
My print quality on this model is not good. I have had major problems with my printer and am only just starting to get decent prints, so please no comments on the quality of the print in the picture.
I used 30% infill on most of the model, but 100% on the smaller parts.
