My cute version of a witch's cauldron as a tea light. Can be used with or without the light diffuser and bubbles. Enjoy! Check out my profile for more amazing cute Halloween lights.
It uses standard 38mm electric tealights. Get them directly from Bambu Lab Maker's Supply. Check the BOM (bill of materials) - scroll all the way down.

Btw. you can find the illuminated houses in the background here: Scary Halloween Houses or the newer set New Set Halloween Houses
I used Bambu Lab Basic PLA black and white for the RGB tea lights. Translucent PLA could look great too!
3d printing details - room for improvement:
No supports needed just hit slice in Bambu Studio and print but the inside bottom part of the cauldron might be "just a little bit" rough because of the steep overhang. I tried tree supports but since the new update (software and firmware) supports always melt together when used in combination with adaptive layer height. No matter what I set as top Z distance. If someone knows how to fix it please let me know!
Also the advanced setting "Order of walls" when set to "inner wall/outer wall/inner wall" creates perfectly smooth and clean outer walls but the inside bottom part is even worse since it's trying to print in mid-air, therefore I had to switch it back to default "inner/outer". It creates okay-ish outer look but the inside bottom part is better this way.
