Advent to Go

Here I present my little Advent Wreath (Adventskranz), a german tradition during Dezember.

It is compatible with Lego bricks and I made it using the following stl from Printables.com:

• https://www.printables.com/model/928608-lego-compatible-37775dat-minifig-candle-flame

The box is designed by me on Tinkercad.com, the lid is printed with color change from red to green at the layer where the wreath part begins. First print the lid, to make sure that the knobs are the right size to fit original LEGO studs, then I recommend to only print the upper part of the box, to make sure the lid will have a tight fit. I needed to print the lid at 102.5% and the box at 103.5%, the flames are printed at 101%.

For the photos I used original Lego parts for the candles, the green flowerlike studs and the golden star (I didn’t find a stl for it), but you can print the candles and the green flower studs as well:

Big thanks go to Thall72 for providing those very accurate models!

Printed on Kobra 2 Pro with PLA from various brands, layer hight 0.15, nozzle 0.4, supports are needed for the candles and the flower studs. I flattend the back of the flames a bit to print them without supports. Use of brims depends on how well your printer is dialed in.
