This electric tea light lantern was made as a sort of tech demo during my exploration of the FullSpectrum community fork of Snapmaker Orca slicer. The "Base" should be printed separately and loosely twist-locks onto the main Facet-ed body.
Shown here printed with transparent red, yellow, and blue transparent PETG from Sunlu with black PETG for the base/top.
The main body is the assembly of the other three parts and meant to be printed with the "Tip" and "Facets" in transparent, colored filament.
THE 3MF FILE IS INTENDED ONLY FOR USE IN FULLSPECTRUM SLICER FORK V0.9.3+ and for the Snapmaker U1. I used 12 mixtures of Red, Yellow and Blue filament stacked using FullSpectrum for the many colors from 3, and black for the top/base.
Pleeeeeease post any makes if you do this on an XL! <3
In principle, the slicer may well work for other printers as well... But the STLs can be printed on any old printer, and quite colorfully with a multi-toolhead printer.
Printing notes:
Layer height: 0.16 mm
"Base.stl" printed separate, other parts as one assembly
3MF file contains only the top assembly (see warning above)
"Tip" and "Facets" intended to be painted to your preference. If using fill tool, you'll need to paint both the front and back of each facet identically for maximum effect, or could be painted otherwise, I suppose.
The facets are all 0.12 mm thick, or 3 walls at 0.4 mm wall thickness.
Recommend transparent colored filament for the facets, sliced here for PETG.
You will also need:
One electric tea light, ~36 mm outer diameter.
Original design was to use up some warm, flickering tea lights I got in a Bambu Labs kit.
DO NOT use this lantern with an actual candle!
