I printed Kappie's nice Christmas tree design. I printed them using Monoprice natural PLA at 100%, 125% and 150% to create several in different sizes. I wasn't happy with the way the tea lights (Home Depot color change LED tea lights) sat unswe the tree, so I mixed up a holder for the tea light that had a centering ring for the tree to sit properly positioned on the tea light. I printed the holders using Inland Forest Green PLA. You'll note there are three size centering rings which should work with the three percentages listed above when printing Kappie's design (www.thingiverse.com/thing:1202114).
I printed using supports at 50% infill. The orientation of the design reduces the amount of support printed and they print fairly quickly.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: This is not intended for the candle style tea lights. This is not to be used around open flames. I would hope that is obvious to anyone wanting to print this item.
