LED tea light candle holder

thingiverse

LED tealights shine brightest when crafted from translucent PLA, unless you're planning to use authentic tealight candles, in which case ABS is the better choice due to its heat-resistant properties. I opted for a 5% infill @ .3 layer thickness (zero percent infill might also work since it's so compact, though the top layer may become distorted unless your machine can create effective bridges). However, I find that at least 5% internal lines add visual appeal. The dimensions of this item are: 1 13/16th" height (46mm) and 1 7/8th" diameter (approximately 49.50mm), making it suitable for most LED tea light candles measuring 1 1/2" in both height and diameter. I've also included a slightly larger .stl file with a 2" inch (53mm) diameter, maintaining the same height. This design looks great from either perspective – right side up or upside down!
