<h3>Fall Leaves Lantern</h3> <h3>LED Tealight or Votive Candle Holder</h3> <h5>Fall, Thanksgiving Decoration</h5> <p>This is a 100x60x60mm LED Tea light or votive lantern.</p> <p>Layers of fall leaves are stacked inside a framed panel, with 4 panels and a base a lantern is created.</p> <p>Easy print, easy assembly.</p> <p>I used yellow at 0mm, orange at 1mm and matte brown at 2mm changing out the filament to create a 3 color look in the leaves.</p> <p>I colored the matte brown frame and edge of base with brown marker to make them darker than the dark leaves.</p> <p>This is another make in what is now a set of designs that include the Halloween themed; <strong><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4972836">Stacked Pumpkin Lantern</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4975473">Stacked Bat Lantern</a></strong> <strong><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5023087/files">Spider Web Lantern</a></strong></p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>FlashForge</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Adventurer 3</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>.20</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>100%</p></div> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> Various PLA See below</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I used a raft to get the thin areas of the panels clean. The panels are thin, only 3mm thick so they print as fast as possible with 100% infill or 3mm worth of shell for the panels.<br/> Note that the 1 &amp; 2mm layer pauses are what worked out for my printer before adding a raft for the panels. Your printer and slicer will vary, please be sure to check them in preview. <p>The base I did at a PLA fast print profile .3mm layer and 10% infill.</p> <p>0mm - Gizmo Dorks - Orange (yellow)</p> <p>1mm - Flashforge - Orange</p> <p>2mm - Ziro - Matte Chocolate</p> <p>Base - TTYT3D - Rainbow Multicolor (bronze section)</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p><strong>Easy Assembly</strong></p> <p>Print 4 frames and the base which has a groove to help hold the panels square.</p> <p>For assembly, to fit the base, each panel attaches left inside and right on end.</p> <p>See previous design <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4972836">Stacked Pumpkin Lantern Assembly</a></p> <p>Stick them together with double side tape or glue. I used Glue Dots 22263E Adhesive Glue Line, Clear. These or similar "craft glue dots" are easy to rearrange, hold well and are removable so it can be flatten for storage.</p> <p>The groove on the base is meant to hold the panels inserted into it. I assembled the sides put glue strips on a couple spots on the bottom edges then tapped the assembly down into the base groove with the palm of my hand.</p> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Copy of a previous design with different clipart</strong></p> <p>I used my previous Stacked Pumpkin design's frame and base. Cleared out the pumpkins, got a leaves free SVGs file from varius google image search results. I did multiple rotations, resize and thickness adjustments until I filled in the frame to my liking.</p> <p>Exported the base and panel into my FlashPrint slicer and setup the various print parts.</p> <p>4 panels, 2 per print on my 150x150mm print area and then the base as a separate lower resolution print with infill.</p> </p></div></p></p></p> Category: Decor
