Ironhold Flame Torch

A clean, medieval-style wall torch that adds some serious atmosphere without being a pain to print. Uses a simple tea light to create a warm flame effect that throws light onto the wall for a really nice glow.

The shield backplate, rivets, and cage give it that forged iron look, while the handle can be finished for a wood grain effect. Everything is lightweight, easy to assemble, and prints clean on most setups.

Print Notes:

• Easy prints overall
• Looks best with a thicker coat of hammered paint
• Handle: print in black, dry brush or wipe for wood grain effect
• Flame is designed for vase mode

Assembly Instructions (H2D Version)

Step 1: Lay Out All Parts

Start by laying out all of your 3D printed parts so everything is easy to access.

You will need:

• All printed components
• Super glue
• Rust-Oleum Hammered Gray paint
• Rust-Oleum Hammered Bronze paint
• A glove

• A tea light candle

  

Step 2: Install Hanger Hooks

Insert the hanger hooks into the shield.

• These do not have to be glued, but it is recommended for a more secure hold.

  

Step 3: Paint Components

Paint all parts using Rust-Oleum Hammered Gray.

• Apply a thick coat to achieve a stronger hammered effect

• Keep in mind: thicker coats = longer drying time

  

Handle Finish Tip

For the wooden handle look:

1. Print the handle in black
2. Spray with Hammered Bronze
3. While wearing a glove, slide your hand downward along the handle
   • This removes some paint and lets the black show through

   • Creates a natural wood grain effect

     

Step 4: Assembly

• Glue all components together using super glue

• Ensure everything is aligned before the glue sets

  

Step 5: Install Tea Light

• Turn the tea light ON

• Insert it into the torch cage

  

Step 6: Install Flame

The flame (printed in spiral vase mode) should have a small lip on the bottom.

• Press it into place until it clicks and locks into the cage

  

Step 7: Mounting the Torch

• Use the provided mounting bracket to position the torch
• Use a bubble level to ensure it is straight

• Mark your holes and install into the wall

  

Final Notes

• Allow all paint to fully cure before final assembly for best results
• The hammered paint finish will continue to improve as it dries
• Take your time—this piece really shines with careful finishing
