Floatting candles

thingiverse

I have a small room inspired by Harry Potter's quarters. I wanted candles that would float in mid-air, casting a warm glow over the space. The DIY projects I'd seen online involved attaching tealight LED candles to the ceiling with fishing line, but I wasn't satisfied with this solution. It required turning each candle on and off individually, which was time-consuming and inconvenient. I found an electric garland at Ikea during Christmas, and instead of using their decorations, I designed my own: a string of twelve candles. To make them more manageable, I divided the design into three separate sections, allowing me to easily pass the electrical wire through each one. The candle flames are printed with fluorescent PLA, adding a fun touch when the lights go out. However, there's still some work to be done on the ceiling to conceal most of the electrical wiring. I couldn't resist sharing this project, despite the fact that I haven't yet hidden all the visible wiring. At least, I can easily switch the floating candles on and off without worrying about running out of battery power. REMINDER: Please don't leave these candles burning for too long, as they're made of plastic and pose a risk when exposed to heat sources. Be mindful of the potential consequences.
