Summary

This is a remix of Devrope's OpenSCAD version of gaudi's original CNC design. Thanks to both of them for their work...

Devrope's design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:261251
gaudi's design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14895

I needed a better battery holder for this as for most of my family members, the "flapping to the wind" battery in Devrope's design would be too hard to use.

So I modified his design to include the following improvements:

  • Battery holding pegs have been added. Battery clicks in and can be ejected with a pen (use some force for the first insertion)
  • Battery distance from LED can be adjusted as some 'candle' leds have shorter pins
  • The battery polarity is indicated on the candle
  • A small hole on top allows hanging from a Christmas tree branch
  • The base has been simplified & redesigned to have a better grip on the candle
  • The base includes editable text

I also included a small printable manual in English, French & Spanish in PDF & SVG/InkScape formats.

I used these 'candle effect' leds:
