** Get an early start! Get the <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/41177" rel="nofollow noopener">Christmas version</a> now! **&nbsp;&nbsp;Light up different Halloween scenes in this display. A tea light candle is required. The display features a door that opens to allow access to the tea light. Use a section of 1.75mm filament inside the hinge to connect the door to the case. Depending on your printer/setup, this hole may be on the tight side or a bit loose. If tight, drilling out the hole may help. If it is slightly oversized, I suggest melting the end of the filament piece with a soldering iron or lighter.I have included a separate liner. This allows you to print the case in a dark color, but line the inside with a lighter color to allow for more reflection of light outward, making everything brighter.For a complete display, you will need:<ul><li>1x Case</li><li>1x Door</li><li>1x Knob</li><li>1x Snap Ring</li><li>1x Liner - Optional</li><li>1x (minimum) Scene - You can easily remove the snap ring to swap out scenes as desired</li></ul>Check out my other holiday models <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/u/1360890085/collections/23941" rel="nofollow noopener">here</a>.<h4>Print Settings</h4>No special setting are needed for the display case, door, knob, snap ring and liner. &nbsp;Scenes Print SettingsPrint the scenes with 100% infill. The scenes also require color changes:<ul><li>The top 2 layers should be black</li><li>If there is no moon in the scene, all other layers can be white or clear - both look nice</li><li>If there is a moon in the scene, it will look best if the bottom 2 layers are printed in clear filament<ul><li>All other layers should be white</li><li>All non-black layers could be printed in all white or all clear if one isn't available to you</li></ul></li></ul>&nbsp;<h4>Assembly</h4>Glue the knob into the door. Only a very small amount is needed.<figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/90743/2023-09-14_njhnxlluv3as.png"></figure>Put the door in place and latch it. Use a 20mm piece of 1.75mm filament to connect the 3 sections of the hinge. If the filament goes in very easily, it may be a good idea to heat up the top end of the filament ‘pin’ and press it flat. This will prevent the pin from falling through later on.<figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/90743/2023-09-14_ps9jc73zrxio.png"></figure>Open the door. Insert a scene into the opening (image facing outward). Insert the snap ring behind the scene by gently squeezing and placing it into the groove (see red arrow below).<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/90743/2023-09-14_zosx4sj7pb0v.png"></figure>If you are using a liner, slide it inside the case. This may be a tight fit. Go slowly and be sure to slide it in evenly on all sides.<figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/90743/2023-09-14_t3jeg8v9f9hv.png"></figure>Turn on your tea light and close the door.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/JamesThePrinter" rel="nofollow noopener">Buy Me A Coffee</a>&nbsp;The following filaments were used in the pictures above:<ul><li>Bambu Lab Matte Charcoal PLA</li><li>Bambu Lab Matte Ivory White PLA</li><li>GIANTARM Transparent Clear PLA</li></ul>
