Tea pot holder with heating candle

thingiverse

The part is a teapot holder with the place for a heating candle (small standard 38 mm (1.5 inch) candle) to keep the tea warm. It was designed to be used on romantic occasions, as it has heart shaped pattern (it was designed for Valentine's day). It was designed for specific glass tea pot that I had, which had bottom base diameter of 100 mm. If you need different size, you can scale the part as needed. The part was printed from stainless steel AISI316L with SLM280 metal printer. As it needed a lot of supports, post-processing was a real challenge. Perhaps it works also if you print it from some plastic.
