Mini Oil Lamp Tea Light Lantern

Turn your electric tea lights into elegant mini lanterns inspired by classic oil lamps!

The lantern gives easy access to switch and battery / charging port - Allowing you to turn it on or off without disassembly  and even change the battery / recharge the light.

Printing a multi color version requires no AMS - The lantern is made of several parts that can be assembled without tools or screws/magnets.

It was designed to fit electric tea lights with a diameter of up to 40mm and a height of 17-27mm. There is an adapter to extend the range to 23-33mm.

There are four shade options to choose from. Please note the meshed shade is the easiest print, the spiral shades might not work with all setups / filaments. I had great success with all Bambu Lab Printers and Bambu Lab PLA with dry filament. The solid shade is printed in vase mode - some electric tea light might not be bright enough to give a satisfying brightness.

A1 & H2D Users: Please make sure to print this design with 100% fan speed to get perfect overhangs. Settings are already applied to my profile, but it will be changed if you change the filament.

Assembly

First screw in the top part into the body as far as you can. Now you can put the shade in and screw the top part back down until the shade is securely held in place. Now press the lid with ring on until it clicks. Please support the upper part with your fingers during this step. Now you can put the electric tea light in the lantern and screw to bottom lid on.
