Candle Holder

thingiverse

When we were helping my mom put away her Christmas decorations last year, she pointed out that the candles were getting lost in the clutter and sitting too low in the windows. As a member of Thingiverse, I immediately thought to myself, "My 3D printer can easily fix this problem." And so, here are the results of just 10 minutes of design time and 4 hours of printing. It's almost exactly what my mom had in mind, which means all I have to do now is print the remaining 8 units - I've only completed 4 so far. To achieve that rich bronze color, I used Amolen Bronze filled filament. The fact that it was also lying around made it an ideal choice. These candle holders fit perfectly with a low-cost battery-powered candle (as shown in the pictures) and have a .700" base. To make them more secure, I added a 1-degree draft to the design. If you need to accommodate candles of different sizes, I've included the SolidWorks file for customization.
