Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: I recommend to print using ABS. The two candle holder are easy to be print. You should not require to rotate them to print (however, both parts have clearly a "flat" side that will be on the print platform. All squares should be correctly aligned. For best print results, ensure that the larger surface is aligned to the print platform. The squares currently have no tolerance included. You may consider to print it with a scale at 99.75% for the "Hidden Version" - so the squares do not bend, when inserted in the holder. For your personal designs you need to ensure to correct direction of a written text (mirroring). The extent of light shining through the surface (the thickness of the wall/the square) may highly depend on your printer, the slicing software and print material. You may choose a thinner version of the squares, but increasing thickness may not work, as it not suits the holder. How I Designed This Simplicity of a square Versatile Light and Lamps have always been a personal passion. My earlier designs of lights and lamps did lack simplicity. Therefore the design of "99GoodReasons" focus on the very basic geometry of a square. A simple square enables the use of customized design: using availble designed squares on different themes using the customizer feature to personalize or with very basic modelling techniques. Currently there are two designs: a (white) box where the text/image is hidden, until lit by a candle the second design is more open, where the square are visible (and may cast shadows on a wall. We also finalizing an electric version Of course, all squares can be use for all variants.
