Mini Gothic Tea Light Lantern

Bring a touch of gothic elegance to your space with these beautifully designed LED lanterns, blending intricate architecture with a warm, modern glow.

This lantern fits standard electric tea lights with a diameter of up to 40mm and heights between 17-27mm. No AMS needed for printing. The parts assemble without any additional tools or screws by simply snapping into each other.

You can print the lantern with or without a hanger. For the shade you have three options: 

• Meshed Shade (Works with any filament)
• Solid Shade (Works best with translucent filament)
• Solid Shade in Vase Mode (depends strongly on the used filament)

Disclaimer: This design can only be used with electric tea lights!

Printing

All parts were designed for 3D-Printing and require no supports. There are self-supported geometries and threads, which require printing at 0.16mm layer height. 

Assembly

Assembly is very easy and requires not additional tools. First secure the tea light with the threaded holder in the base. Now put the shade into the lantern and press it into the foot. This can be a little harder at the first time, but should become easier if you open and close it a few times.
