We donate any tips provided to the project - UNESCO helps children in need. There are 99 good reasons to light a candle - it's a statement of hope! This "99GoodReasons" (Visible) includes the frame for the Candle Holder, consisting of two files that you can mix and match with various squares to personalize your tealight. You'll find a selection below, with more options coming soon. An optional shade is also available. A variant of the candle holder exists where the message remains hidden until the candle is lit - check it out here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1767269 It's the perfect and very personal gift for your friends and family!

You can also customize a gift box: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1787739 Design your own square: Find attached a blank square as an STL or Sketchup File For safety reasons, we strongly recommend using electric tealights (LED). Print Settings: Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: I recommend printing with ABS for the best results. The two candle holders are easy to print and do not require rotation. However, both parts have a clearly defined "flat" side that should be on the print platform. Ensure all squares are correctly aligned for optimal print quality. For best results, ensure that the larger surface is aligned to the print platform. The squares currently have no tolerance included, so you may consider printing them at 99.75% scale for the "Hidden Version" to prevent bending when inserted into the holder. When creating your personal designs, make sure to mirror the text correctly. The extent of light shining through the surface depends on your printer, slicing software, and print material. You can choose a thinner version of the squares, but increasing thickness may not work as it does not suit the holder. How I Designed This I designed "99GoodReasons" with simplicity in mind - a square is the perfect shape for customization. As a passionate advocate for versatile lights and lamps, I aimed to create something basic yet effective. My earlier designs lacked simplicity, so this one focuses on the very basics of geometry. There are two designs currently available: 1. A (white) box where the text/image is hidden until lit by a candle 2. The second design is more open, with visible squares that may cast shadows on a wall. We're also finalizing an electric version of this design. Of course, all squares can be used for any variant!
