Design Details
- Authentic Aesthetic:
This model is a faithful recreation of the Neoclassical and Belle Époque styles popular in 19th-century France. It captures the elegant lines and intricate details typical of French decorative arts, including classical acanthus leaf motifs, a square ornate base raised on ornate feet, and panels designed to mimic vibrant champlevé enamel work. - Multi-Color Friendly:
The design is optimized for simple multi-color printing (see BOM). All three tiers of enamel panels fit onto a single small A1 mini print plate, and the color changes are limited exclusively to the very first layer, meaning no complex systems like H2C or Vortek are required. - Functional:
The design is versatile; it can house a small flame-effect LED tea light (see BOM) or a standard 2cm diameter LED candle. It also works great simply as a sculptural piece.
Component View: The image shows the finished, painted base assembly alongside the 3D printed flame attachment and the small LED tea light used for illumination.
Printing & Assembly Tips
- Material:
PLA is ideal for capturing sharp details. I have printed in PLA Basic Black (see BOM) but you can certainly choose PLA Silk+ in Gold or Bronze if you are not into painting your model after printing. - Finishing:
For a premium finish, consider using UV resin on the enamel sections for a deep, glossy look. The bronze sections can be painted using a variety of metallic paints to enhance texture and realism. The parts fit together with simple adhesive (super glue recommended).
Unassembled Parts: A view of the individual 3D printed components before assembly, including the top, the central standard pieces, and the pyramid finial.
