Temple Tea Light - Provo City Center

This is a simple tea light / lithophane based on one of the temples STLs from hlyman's 197 LDS Temples. Works great as a commemorative gift. 

License

The original work was share under a creative commons NON-COMMERCIAL license, which I fully support. I have shared this remix with the same license.

Material

I print mine in BambuLabs White PETG because I prefer that white to the options available in PLA. That said, this might print with better detail in PLA. Either way the model is thin enough that light should shine through the top and create the intended effect.

Assembly

Assembly is pretty simple. Flex the base slightly to get the tea light into the tealight-shaped hole. It should rest on the lower lip. Feel free to modify the file and extend that lip if you have exceptionally small tea lights to account for. I recommend hot-gluing the tea light into place as a pressure fit just isn't good enough if someone is going to be switching the light on and off or changing the battery. 

The temple part of the tea light should snap on with just a little pressure or flexing of the base. I don't recommend gluing as that fit is tight enough for typical use and it leave the option open to remove the top to replace the light if needed.

I enjoy designing but I am fully aware that my models could be improved. If you have trouble with this or any of my designs, please include feedback with your ratings so I know what to work on.
