Short 3-Inch Pillar Candleholder for Electric Candles

3-Inch Pillar Candleholder

A minimalist candleholder designed to hold a 3-inch (76mm) electric pillar candle. Featuring simple curves, this sleek, single-piece design is easy to print and blends seamlessly into any decor style.

Complete the look with the full set of three candleholders: tall, medium, and small (this model).

Print Settings

• Dimensions: 63.5mm (H) × 85.6mm (W) × 85.6mm (D)
• Material: PLA (compatible with other filaments)
• Supports: Required (Everywhere) — A cross pattern works best for supporting rounded overhangs
• Infill: 15–20%
• Layer Height: 0.2mm

Note: To reduce support usage, consider splitting the model in half and printing both sides separately, then gluing them together after printing.

Post-Processing

Sanding and painting can enhance the finish, but are entirely optional and based on user preference.

Optional Weighting Tip:
To add stability and a more substantial feel to the candleholder, consider using gyroid infill during printing. After the print is complete, drill a small hole into the bottom and fill the interior with a weight-enhancing material. Table salt is an excellent option—it's fine-grained, inexpensive, and readily available at most dollar stores. Once filled to your desired weight, seal the hole by hot-gluing a round piece of felt or non-slip pad over the base for a clean and functional finish.
