ORIGAMI TEA LIGHT | Tea Light Holder

ORIGAMI TEA LIGHT | Tea Light Holder

Here is the tea light holder version of my ORIGAMI table lamp.

I had tea lights lying around the house and I though, well, why not shrink down my ORIGAMI lamp to make it a tea light holder!

The shade was printed in translucent PETG with some fuzzy skin.
(See settings below)
And the base was printed in PLA.

It can fit tea lights with a diameter of up to 41mm.

Happy printing!

DIMENSIONS (Shade) | W70 mm L75 mm x H 94 mm

DIMENSIONS (base | W71 mm L76 mm x H 63 mm

3D printing settings

The shade and the base print upside-down.
(STL files already oriented properly).

SHADE:
The shade prints in standard mode, not vase mode.
No supports required.
No infill required.

Wall line count: 2
top layers: 2
Bottom layers: 3
Resolution / Layer Height: 0.2mm/layer
Infill: None (0%)
Build adhesion type: Brim 4 to 6mm

In Bambu Studio:
- make sure to untick "ensure vertical shell thickness" in Speed settings or you'll end up with extra thickness here and there.
- set "Wall Generator" to "Arachne" mode in Quality settings, or you'll end up doubling the print time.

The shade on the pictures was printed with some “fuzzy skin”.
- fuzzy skin thickness: 0.3mm
- fuzzy skin point distance: 0.8mm

BASE/STAND:
The base must be printed upside-down, so with the round face for the E14 or E27 socket flat on the printing bed.
No brim or supports needed.
You can push the infill to 30% or 40% to get a super clean print.
