About this print
A decorative lantern designed to hold a small tea light, with interchangeable side panels representing different seasonal themes. Panels include snowflakes, reindeer, angels, stars, leaves and Thanksgiving motifs, allowing a single lantern body to be adapted throughout the year. PLA is a practical material for this ornamental use, and semi-translucent filament can help soften and diffuse the glow from the candle inside.

This is by far my best 3D model ever. My wife wanted me to create
for her a holiday lantern with snow flakes. Well I took it one step
further and created a lantern that you can mix and match different
panels. I've created a few sets initially. Leave comments abou
t new panels you'd like me to create and I'll upload them. I really
hope you all enjoy this lantern.
FYI - I'm using a 3 inch high tea light that I bought at TJ max. It flickers like a candle. I've uploaded pictures for you to check it out.
Update: I added a tea light shroud for people who can't find the 3 inch tea lights. It's just an open cylinder that will surround your tea light. You obviously will have to print it in a PLA/ABS that is white or clear.

Printing Holiday Lantern with Swappable Panels
For Holiday Lantern with Swappable Panels we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
