Candles with flames

thingiverse

I took this model from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2675541) and added four Parametric LED Tea Light Candle Hats (https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/parametric-led-tea-light-candle-hat) to create a unique design with flames. This model was printed for a mixed media art project that my partner is working on, so I scaled it down from 150mm to 35mm tall using Cura and then printed it according to the specified settings. I didn't use any supports when printing the drips, but they turned out surprisingly well. However, if you want to print this model at its full size, you may need to add three or four support trees for the drips. The cover photo shows two sets in a pool of dripped wax that was created using hot glue and then painted with vibrant colors. The purple photos are exactly as they were printed, with no cleanup needed - they're still on the bed. I've left the STL file at its full size so it's easier to use for other projects; scaling down is usually less complicated than scaling up when working with 3D printing software.
