Tealight lantern
Description
Tealight holder lantern, with exchangeable side panels. Maze and Voronoi patterns are available, it is also possible to add your own pattern.
Printing Details
It is a lightweight design that requires a well-calibrated printer. I recommend the use of a 3D printing adhesive.
How to do
- print the base and glue the feet under it,
you need eight feet - print the bottom and top frame,
print the support, you need four,
glue it together, don't use to much glue - print the panels, you need four
- the side panels slide into the frame from above
- don't glue the side panels, they stay in place by themselves
- put the frame on the base, don't glue it
How to print the side panels
- I recommend a layer height of 0.2mm
- with a layer height of 0.2mm, the side panel consists of four layers
- two layers panel and two layers pattern
- I used transparent filament for the panels and black for the pattern
- you can print it by changing the filament at 0.6mm (recommended)
- or you do a multi material print (recommended)
- or you print it as one piece and paint the pattern
- there is also an blank side panel, you can apply your own pattern there

Safety instructions
- Do not leave the lantern alone when using real tealights
- Do not use too large tealights (30mm > ⌀ < 40mm)
- The lantern has been tested with real tealights, but should you still have the feeling that the lantern does not tolerate the heat of the candle, then extinguish the candle immediately, use led's instead
