Tealight holder: drop

thingiverse

I designed a tealight holder shaped like a falling drop, first creating it in Blender and Tinkercad with a screw-in bottom. But I soon realized that screwing in and out could be tricky when the drop was hanging in a window, so I redesigned it to work with magnets instead. I used 6mm diameter magnets, which need to be glued firmly into place. It's essential to note that this design is only compatible with electric tealights; using any other type of tealight could cause the plastic to melt and potentially lead to a house fire in the worst-case scenario. The holder was printed in PLA, and I found it unnecessary to use support material. To achieve an attractive effect, I recommend using translucent filament, which is what I've been using successfully.
