Cute cat candle holder

thingiverse

This is a cute candle holder, designed specifically for this flat candle with a diameter of 38-40mm. PLA can support the heat of the candle but it's essential to avoid direct fire contact. The model looks great with special filament like stone one (I'm using FormFutura StoneFil, which is excellent - https://amzn.to/2H0E5pL). Just avoid metal base filaments. FDM printing: The model has been designed to be printed without support or raft. 2 outline minimum is advised with a 0.4 nozzle. If you use stone type filament, it's better to use a 0.6 or 0.8 nozzle with 2 outlines, low speed and ~0.1 layers. You have a small version (the one in photo and screenshot) and a large one for the same candle size, but a larger cat (well, based on my own cat :p). SLA printing: You have a dedicated model which has been hollowed and includes some vents to avoid suction cup effect. 50-100 microns resolution is fine. If you print with a Photon, D7 or Photon or LD-001, the model barely fits the printer volume size, but it's working as shown in the screenshot. The model has been printed successfully with CR10S, a Photon from Anycubic and a D7 from Wanhaoo. Obviously, you can scale a little bit more or less to fit your candle. By the way, Neko means cat in Japanese and it's the name of my own cat. You can find me on social media: YouTube (Mainly French): https://www.youtube.com/polyworkshop.
