Ghosts for LED lighting / LED Candles

Here's a couple of two little ghosts, resulting from a 3D tutorial I created (but in French). The goal is to put LED lights inside their bodies, like candle types or disc types that you can place in a closet. To see how the candle type LED works, check out this short movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVFC0BEGQdo READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW! Instructions: You'll notice that the modes aren't hollowed yet. Your slicer will take care of it for you! All you need to do is move your model 3mm down along the Z-axis (below the grid) and ensure that there are no solid bottom layers. It works perfectly with Cura and Simplify3D. When you produce the GCode preview, double-check that the bottom is fully open. Also, use two outlines (0.8mm). The model can be printed with just one outline, but it's not recommended. The model doesn't need supports or infill, however I suggest printing at a lower speed than usual (no more than 50mms/s). It's essential to have a nice surface. Don't forget to add a skirt connected to the model so that it sticks well to the build platform.
