Description
A large pentacle to hold 5x standard battery-powered tealights.
Assemble from 5 identical parts which link together to form the complete shape; which may be easily dismantled again for storage. Please note that they do not lock strongly together to form a robust structure, so while it can be slid around, it should not be picked up assembled unless you glue the parts togther.
Do not use real burning wax candle tealights - it will melt, catch fire, and burn your house down.
Do not use for ritual magik or summoning of extradimensional eldrich horrors unless you are a Competent Person. If you are not sure what constitutes being a Competent Person in such matters then you are not one, but you may still enjoy it as a party decoration or low budget movie prop.
If giving as a gift, note that when dismantled it fits nicely in a typical filament box. You could turn the box inside out to present unprinted faces to the recipient of the gift.
Silk gold PLA is a good choice of material. It should be an easy print. The model files I have uploaded are of a higher resolution than the one in the photos, so there should be minimal or no faceting in your print. On a Prusa Mk3-sized printer you will need to do 3 builds - 2x two fifths and 1x one fifth.
Need a more petite pentacle? Then take a look at my 19cm 1-piece design - it is more robust, fits on a dinner plate and is completed in a single build.
