No paint Squirrel nut candle/storage box

thingiverse

Thanks to miaka618 for designing this awesome candle/storage holder. However, I'm not a big fan of painting my 3D prints, so I designed a version which does not require any paint, instead it can be printed from different color filaments. Even the eyes can be made with nothing else but filament. Most of the prints can use as low as 0% infill, except the nut base, it is advised to use at least 4% infill. The nut cap requires some support. In case the deep eye version of the squrrel is printed, the eyes can be made in the followind way: 1. Heat up the end of a piece of white filament with a lighter 2. Press it into the eye socket and hold it until it cools 3. Cut off the access with pliers 4. Heat up the end of a piece of black filament with a lighter 5. Lightly touch the center of the white eye so it leaves just a small black dot 6. Cut off the access with pliers Optionally the squirrel can then be glued to the nut base.
