Floating Candle Holder

thingiverse

This is an uncomplicated idea I developed to illustrate basic moulding and design concepts to my students. My objective was to transform a straightforward shape into a decorative tea light holder, which I utilised as an illustration. These units are designed to accommodate a 40mm tea light and drift on water in a bathtub, pond, pool or a themed waterside display. They feature enhanced stability at the base due to their increased thickness. This design may add a subtle ambiance to a late-evening swim or a relaxing soak in the tub. Print Settings: Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: .2 at least Infill: Varies based on filament type and desired visual outcome Notes: The construction will function with full or partial infill. If utilising an opaque material, I recommend partial infill to permit greater light permeation, producing attractive geometric patterns on the water's surface. When employing a transparent material, 100% may yield a soft, calming glow.
