Baccarat Inspired Votive Tealight Candle Holder

Inspired by Baccarat's classic crystal candle holder.  This is a three part model.

Please use a battery powered LED tealight.

The separate parts make some amazing creative liberties in your designs.   Consider mixing and matching 

• translucent, 
• transparent, and 
• standard opaque filaments, especially for the inner globe and the base.

The main profile is highly customized for transparent and translucent filaments.  I print the outer and inner globes on separate plates.  

Key Learnings with Transparent and Translucent filaments:

• Dry the filament before using
• Print SLOW SLOW SLOW--- set vase mode at 20 mm/sec with overhang overrides turned off  
• The wall thickness helps the appearance of translucent and transparent filaments.  
• The walls are 1 mm THICK line widths
• The wall layers are THIN, at 0.16 mm in the profile uploaded

Key Settings Are:

• Spiral Vase Mode for the globes
• 20 mm/sec outer wall speed
• Slowdown for overhangs OFF
• Inside brim for the outer globe
• Outer wall line width at 1 mm (standard 0.4 mm nozzle)

• 0.16 mm layer thickness
