LED Hanging Tea light Christmas Tree!
(Please see update at the bottom for extra printing advice)
Hi, here’s my Christmas tree tea light cover to add a bit of holiday cheer!
Designed to be an easy print that can fit even on small printers and to print in place with no supports or raft needed. Place upright on the bed, choose your favourite print settings and hit print!
Size: 61mm high and 52mm wide
There are 4 prints to choose from, two variations with two options. One has no loop to use as a table ornament and one has a loop so it can be hung. Both have two options for the tea light hole, choose the 15mm diameter hole to sit the tea light underneath so only the light is inside. Or choose the 32mm dimeter hole to hide the tea light completely inside the print.
Options:
As this has been designed to be an easy print there is no clips or brackets to hold the tea light in place if hanging. If you are wanting to hang this, I recommend using double sided tape or a bit of hot glue to hold the tea light in place.
Printer Settings:
Please see below update for Printer settings guide.
DO NOT USE THIS WITH REAL CANDLES, ONLY TO BE USED WITH LED/ELECTRIC TEA LIGHTS.
After a couple of prints I can confirm this model prints very well even on a cheap printer! 😊
Second attempt came out much better.
I advise printing two at a time or having a cooling tower/column off to one side to allow the nozzle to come away from the print and give it a second or two to cool. As the top is very small, printing layer on layer without a chance to cool makes the top a bit of a melted mess (see my first print!).
I also changed the settings to 0% infill and the results are just as good!
Again, as above you know your printer better than I do, so use your favourite settings for a non-complex print. However, if you are looking for rough guide:
Shells: 3 (2 should be adequate too if you’re looking for a quick print)
Infill: 0%
Layer Height: 0.2mm
Rafts: NO
Supports: NO
As always, have fun printing and don’t forget to show off your prints!
Happy Printing!! :)
