ASSEMBLE THIS SIMPLE CANDELABRA JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING
I love the holidays, and there’s nothing better than a little ambiance to set the right mood. A great part of the holidays of course are the sights and smells and candles can provide both. I wanted to make something that is easy to print and is assembled to ensure better quality. This candelabra can hold up to three votive candles like this one: Yankee Candle – Votive
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- 5X M3 Heat Set Inserts (McMaster P/N 94180A331)
- 5X M3 x 10MM Socket Head Screws
- 3X Votive Candles
PRINT SETTINGS:
- Print BOM: 1X Base, 1X Body, 3X Candle Trays
- Fill density: 25-30%
- Print Speed: 40-50 mm/s
- Layer height: .15 or .16mm
- Brim: If you’re printing in PLA, you might want a brim on the Base
