Bobble flame candle

Model of a candle with bobbling flame . I made this model for a flash contest “Bobbleheads” inspired by 3D printy's Emoji Printer Bobbleheads (https://www.printables.com/cs/model/224836).

In order for the flame to be slim, I had to narrow the original spring.

There are 3 parts in the files below: 1/base (candle) , 2/head (flame) and 3/new narrow spring.

Printing: No special printing requirements, e.g. 0.2mm layer, 2 perimeters, 15% infill, NO supports. Print the flame with brim just for sure.

Post processing: I recommend gluing the spring on both ends (in the base and in the flame as well). This eliminates possible backlash that could dampen the bobbling.

Tip: To attach use 8x3mm magnet or double sided tape.
