Tea Light Oil Lamp Remix for larger tealights
Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER use this with a real candle, PLA is flamable! After going to print sgfx's great little oil lamp ( https://www.thingiverse.com/sgfx ) I realized it was too small for our battery operated tealights, so I enlarged both pieces and altered the globe to accommodate whatever diameter/height of flame the battery operated tea light has. Print the globe in clear filament with 100% infill for the bottom 4.2mm, with 1 bottom layer, 0 top layers, 1 shell and then change processes to "vase mode" (0 bottom layers, 0 top layers) for the rest of the file. With a well calibrated printer and no elephant-footing, the globe snaps nicely into the base. I rubbed metallic wax on the base (see photo). The base does need a bit of support to print the upper lip that the globe hooks on.
