Modern style ribbed LED tea light holder

This time round, elliptical design. As the ribs are printed flat, I’m not limitted by technical capability of FDM printers. No issues with printing thin objects verticaly, no supports needed. The way ribs are connected to the stand gives this design some additional unique looks. Print it and check yourself! :)

All standard LED tea lights of size up to 37.8mm will fit inside (including the one from Bambu Lab Kit which are 37.2mm in diameter).

WARNING! Holder is designed for LED tea light only! Do not use open fire candles.

About the model.

Around 9.5cm wide and 6cm high.

How to build this model.

Model consists of 22 parts (base and 21 ribs) that need to be connected together. After print simply slide ribs into holes in the stand.Deppends of your printer accuracy and filament used glue may or may not be required. I find out that parts printed in silk PLA fits just right where parts printed in basic PLA are a little bit loose. All printed on the same printer. Quite interesting discovery :)

Model ribs are placed on the print bed in the print profile the way that let your dual and tri color filaments shine! Check the multicolor one printed in Anycubic tri-color silk PLA on the photos :)

Build is super easy and should take less than a minute.

If you like the model and you want to give it thumbs up, please also consider downloading it. It cost you just one additional click and it’s very important to me. Also check my other models, maybe you will find something interesting :) Thank you!

Happy printing! :)
