Birthday Candle Holder for 2 X 50 = 100 Candles

prusaprinters

Recently I needed to organize a birthday party for a person celebrating their 100th birthday. I need to be able to add (and remove) 100 candles from a cake with as little fuss as possible, so I designed this candle holder to hold 50 candles (and used two of them on the cake).While not strictly necessary, I also used Quick-Light candles which are designed to light in a chain reaction, so I could light all 100 candles very quickly. This product works pretty well, but if you use it be prepared to light a few candles that didn't light in the chain reaction.Note - this print is designed to print as quickly and with as little filament as possible, so it is a little bit flimsy - but strong enough to do the job. It is meant to be used one time only, and then disposed of.Assembly and UseInsert small birthday candles into the sockets in the print; giving the candles a little bit of back-and-forth rotation will help seat them in the sockets. Use as many holders as needed - you can also cut off some of the sockets if you don't need all 50.Print InstructionsPrint in PETG using the 3mf files provided (should work in PLA as well), otherwise :0.3mm layer height2 perimeters0% infillCADThe OnShape 3D CAD files for this are here :https://cad.onshape.com/documents/c2986cd3cc3636295cc9f7d9/w/e4502a4bab7d85f780954f6f/e/a2c272adf4b3cf822152299c?renderMode=0&uiState=65c04879430e5650ecd9e8bb
