Lantern part 2 ( Frame)

IMPORTANT!!!  The project it's easy but it's divided into two main steps:  Laser Cutting  & 3d Print .

 It's built in print!  no glue needed or post assembly

This is Second Step, 

3d print frame use  Nozzle 0.4mm and layer 0.2mm 

but  you need the parts from the first step (Laser cut)  before doing this….  at this link

The  circular compartment at the base of the lantern is designed to hold a battery-powered LED candle, with a max diameter of 40 mm.

at this link  the candles i used   

Print the frame in PLA,   no glue or post-assembly is required . Instead, the project uses a clever technique involving two print pauses:

When printing resumes, the frame completes and locks all components in place with a precise fit.

Important: for this technique to succeed, the wood panel thickness must not exceed 3 mm, and the wood must be completely flat to avoid issues during printing.

• The first pause at layer 500 allows you to insert the wooden panels directly into the printed frame, when you finish placing the pieces resume the print   will continue printing closures for the panels...

   

  

   

   

   

• The second pause will happen at layer 517 , is for placing the hexagonal top cover. which will have to match the appropriate pins that are forming on the frame, when you finish resume the print and the top cover will  be blocked .

🔥 Safety warning: The use of real candles or open flames is strongly discouraged, as the materials used (wood and PLA) are flammable.

The final result if everything went well

Enjoy!
