This is a cute candle holder, designed for this flat candle with a diameter of 38-40mm. PLA is able to support the heat of the candle but of course, avoid direct fire contact.
The model looks nice with special filament like the stone one (I'm using the FormFutura StoneFil, which his great > https://amzn.to/2H0E5pL)
Just avoid metal base filaments.
FDM printing:
The model has been made to be printed without support or raft. 2 outline minimum is advised with 0.4 nozzle.
If you use stone type filament, it's better to use a 0.6 or 0.8 nozzle with 2 outlines, a low speed and ~0.1 layers.
You have a small version (the one in photo and screenshot and a large one for the same candle size, but a larger cat (well, based on my own cat :p
SLA printing:
You have a dedicated model which has been hollowed and includes some vents to avoid the suction cup effect. 50-100 microns resolution is fine. If you print with a Photon, D7 or Photon or LD-001, the model bearly fit the printer volume size, but it's working as shown in the screenshot.
The model has been printed successfully with a CR10S, a Photon from Anycubic and a D7 from Wanhaoo.
Obviously, you can scale a little bit more or less to fit your candle.
By the way, Neko means cat in Japanese and it's the name of my own cat.
