Advent Wreath with 4 Dripping LED Candles

Light one more candle every Advent Sunday. This wreath brings four red candles of four heights (55, 70, 85 and 100 mm), each with wax drips running down the sides and its number from 1 to 4 in relief, sitting on a ring of holly leaves with clusters of red berries. Put an LED tealight on top of each candle and it looks like the real thing, with no fire and no wax on the table. A centerpiece for the Christmas table, the mantel or the nativity corner all December long.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - Real Advent countdown: candles 1 to 4, each one taller than the last, numbered in relief. - Dripping wax look, printed with no supports: every drip and every surface facing down is at 55 deg or more, and the candles stand up with the LED pocket open on top. - Holly wreath in 2 colors without an AMS: print it green and swap to red at 22.0 mm, so only the berries come out red. - Plug and play: each candle drops into its own cradle in the wreath (0.4 mm clearance). No glue, no screws. - Fits standard LED tealights (38 mm): each candle has a 39.2 mm × 15 mm pocket on top.

HOW IT WORKS - The circular holly wreath features four molded cradles spaced evenly around the perimeter ring. - Four dripping candles numbered 1 to 4 drop vertically into the cradles with 0.4 mm clearance. - Candle heights increase sequentially around the ring at 58 mm, 73 mm, 88 mm, and 103 mm. - A standard 38 mm battery LED tealight drops into the top pocket of each candle. - One candle is switched on each Advent Sunday, lighting all four by Christmas.

PRINT SETTINGS (suggested) - Supports: none · Layer: 0.2 mm · Walls: 3 · Infill: 10-15 % (the candles are solid, a low infill saves filament) · Nozzle: 0.4 mm - Orientation: as exported (the wreath flat, the candles standing up) - Material: PLA. Candles in red (or white, gold...), wreath in green - Wreath in 2 colors: green until 22.0 mm, then pause and change to red for the berries (add a color change at that layer in your slicer)

ASSEMBLY 1. Drop each candle into a cradle of the wreath, in order around the ring. 2. Put a 38 mm LED tealight in the top of each candle. 3. Every Advent Sunday, switch on one more candle. 4. SAFETY: LED tealights only. NEVER use a real flame (PLA softens and burns).

GOOD TO KNOW BEFORE YOU PRINT - The wreath is big: 194 × 195 mm, so it needs a bed of at least 200 × 200 mm. It is also the longest print of the set and uses a lot of filament, so keep the infill low. - Each candle has 0.4 mm of clearance in its cradle. Elephant's foot can make the fit tight, so calibrate the first layer. - The pocket on top is 39.2 × 15 mm, made for standard 38 mm LED tealights. Wider ones will not fit. - The berry color change is at 22.0 mm. With a layer height that does not land there, move it to the nearest layer.
