Chinese Zodiac Tealight Covers

Free models of all of Chinese Zodiac as Tealight Covers

Mainly made for a celebration of the Lunar New Year

Tealights are with an animal names in english (inside, in the middle) for easier identification

Some hanzi are in simplified (SIM) and traditional (TR) chinese versions

There are also test files with heads from the full set of tealight covers

Tested on PLA prints
No deformations were noticed (nor in walls nor in the bottom) but there can be some if you will use bigger candles - be advised

Still I'm recommending a LED candles instead of real ones- as I used it
