Potion Bottle Nightlight - Black Lotus

Beautiful and ornamented lantern for standard Bambu LED tea lights with inspiration taken from the Black Lotus, a flower representing rebirth and internal growth.

I designed this potion when I was clawing my way out of intense emotional burnout and it features a combination of soft shapes and angles, mixed with sharp spikes. 

It is best printed with Bambu PETG Translucent (flask) and Bambu PLA Matte (ornaments), but can be printed with Translucent PLA and with PLA Basic as ornament filament without losing too much on the looks department. Using PLA Translucent will, however, remove a lot of the gloss and transparency over the PETG option, especially if you're using the PETG flask print profile.

The assembly demands a filament with some flexibility, so I do NOT recommend printing the ornamented parts with Silk. I did not have good results assembling this potion bottle using Silk as the spikes would break off.

The lantern opens at the bottom, and has room for a standard LED tea light.

PARTS:

The Black Lotus Potion Bottle comes in 6 parts:

1. A bottom piece for the LED light

2. A bottom ornamented piece holding the flask

3. A middle ornamented piece closing the flask in place

4. A top ornamented stopper

5. A flask

6. A large, round gemstone

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1: Screw the bottom piece for LED light (1) onto the ornamented bottom piece for flask (2)

Step 2: Put flask (5) into the ornamented piece (2). Glue can be used to secure the flask in place, but be careful so you do not accidentally glue the bottom piece (1) in place.

Step 3: Gently thread the ornamented middle piece (3) over the neck of the flask (5), angle in downwards so it hooks into the ornamented bottom piece (2) and carefully push it down behind the spikes so it snaps in place. Glue can be used to fuse the two pieces together.

Step 4: Place the ornamented stopper (4) on top of the flask (5). Glue can be used to secure it in place..

Step 5: Place the gemstone (6)  on top of the stopper (4). Glue can be used to secure it in place.

Step 6: Unscrew bottom, put a LED tea light on it, close it again and enjoy :)
