About this project

This project started based on my Admech inspired incense burner
I got some requests to publish the files, but I didn't feel comfortable with that because I didn't take the time to use easily available parts and optimize the files.
Instead i decided to design a new and smaller version to make this awesome piece of decoration more accessible to everyone (with a printer).

The Lamp is designed to hold an LED tealight as shown in the picture.
DO NOT USE AN ACTUAL CANDLE WITH THIS!
The hole in the "roof" section is meant to be used with an m6 bolt, but you could probably feed a wire through here to power a stronger LED light source.
You will have to be cautious about heat generation here though.

Materials

To build this you will need to 3d print the following parts:

• 1x bottom
• 1x ring
• 1x roof
• 6x side
  The parts print support free except for the "side" part. While the reference points for glueing printed fine without support for me, the overhangs where the window will be glued in certainly won't.

In addition, you will need to print "windowsheets" in colour on an overhead projector transparency.
This will give you window sheets for 3 lanterns, but in my experience you will inevitably mess up at least one window, so ideally treat some of them as spares.
Unless you already have printable transparencies at home I'd recommend checking out a local copy store.
The windows were generated using this AI.

You will also need the following materials:

• superglue
• 12x 6x2mm cylindrical neodymium magnets
• paint (i used gilding wax)
• LED tealight

How to build

Before you start glueing anything together, be aware that you wont be able to install the windows after glueing!
To start you should paint all parts except the "ring". I used a black primer followed by gilding wax, but chose whatever paint you like.
After painting you should add the windows. Cut them out staying within the black border.
Put down some superglue on the "side" part where you previously removed the support, then lay the window glossy side down into that frame. Superglue will dissolve the print away from the matt side, so be cautious of accidentally smearing it around.
With all the windows installed you can glue all 6 "side" parts to the "roof" and to each other.
Add magnets to the "ring" and the "bottom" (make sure they are all the right way around), then glue the "ring" into the "side"/"roof" assembly.

Congrats! you now have your very own lantern. Light it up by taking off the bottom part, placing the LED candle in it and putting it back in.

I hope you enjoy this project; I'd love to see your finished builds on here!
