🎂 Birthday Candle Holders – Quick & Easy Print
A quick and easy print for 1 or 12 candle holders, perfect for birthday cakes.
This model was originally designed for 13 mm diameter candles (so not the ultra-skinny type), but it’s fully scalable to fit most common birthday candle sizes.
If your candles are thinner or thicker, just scale the model accordingly.
📏 Candle Size Scaling Guide
Use the table below to scale the model relative to the original 13 mm design:
Candle type (common) | Diameter | Scale (%) |
|---|---|---|
Very thin birthday candles (cheap / classic) | 5 mm | 38 % |
Thin standard birthday candles | 6 mm | 46 % |
Slightly thicker standard candles | 7 mm | 54 % |
“Premium” / colorful party candles | 8 mm | 62 % |
Thicker party / number-candle stems | 9 mm | 69 % |
Chunky birthday candles | 10 mm | 77 % |
Slim table / party candles | 11 mm | 85 % |
Classic slim taper candles | 12 mm | 92 % |
Reference size (original model) | 13 mm | 100 % |
💡 Tip:
Depending on your printer and material, you may want to add 2–5 % extra scale for a looser fit, as candle diameters can vary slightly and wax is not perfectly round.
🖨 Printing Notes
The model does have overhangs, but due to its small size, it can be printed without supports without any issues.
Any minor imperfections inside the holder will be compressed by the candle wax when inserting the candle and won’t be visible later, since they’re on the inside.
Happy printing and happy birthday! 😊🎉
