Star Tealight Candle Holder

thingiverse

I took a humble Christmas tree topper and gave it a second life as a cozy tea light candle holder, complete with a soft glow that sets the mood. To ensure it would withstand the gentle warmth of the tea light, I printed this project out of PET G for its high melting point, but to be honest, PLA should work just fine too - you can't go wrong either way. With thanks to Freecad for being such an awesome design tool, here's how we made this design a reality - all details and downloads can be found in the attached files. Printing was simple - I opted for 3 walls of solid goodness and about 10% infill for a bit of lightness without losing structural integrity.
