A 3D-printed tealight holder in cube form, inspired by the Mac Pro front, can be produced without support structures by adjusting the design to avoid overhangs.
Design Structure:
• The cube has four perforated sides with Mac Pro-style holes. These should be slightly rounded or angled to print without overhangs. The top is open to insert the tealight.
Material Choice:
• PLA for electric tealights, PETG for real candles, as it is more heat-resistant.
Print Settings:
• Orientation: Cube with the open top facing upward.
• Wall Thickness: 2-3 mm for stability.
• Infill: 10-20%.
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm for good detail.
• Speed: 40-50 mm/s, especially on the perforated sides.
Post-Processing:
• Minimal post-processing is required since no supports are used.
Use:
• Electric Tealights: Ideal for PLA.
• Real Candles: Only with heat-resistant materials like PETG.
This design creates beautiful light patterns and is easy to print without support structures.
