Travel tea light Menorah

thingiverse

This Menorah for LED tea lights can also serve as a general-purpose candelabra, but its primary intention is to be used exclusively with LED tea lights. However, there's a depression in the seating area of each holder that reduces the impact of heat from wax tea lights, and caution should be exercised when using them. This Menorah is designed for mailing purposes and will arrive unassembled. This allows it to fit into the smallest possible package size - an empty 750g filament box is ideal. As a result, this Menorah requires self-assembly. Each candle holder should be printed with its base on the print bead and a holding brim. No support is necessary in this process. After printing, location pins (nine total) should be fitted to each candle holder. The base and pin-fitted holders can then be packed loosely in a box for transit and assembled later. The design of the Menorah is symmetrical around holder number 9, so you need to print two of each subsequent holder: 1+8, 2+7, 3+6, and 4+5. The holes in the base are larger than the pin diameter, which can cause the candle holders to fit too loosely. A little light glue can be used to secure them in place. However, do not use superglue unless you're certain of the final position of each holder. The arrangement of the candle holders is intended to create a gradual decline, with each pair dropping by 5mm down from number 9 to 1+8.
