Video of the two-color flickering effect. https://youtu.be/6CtCdkzSDtM Want some awesome flickering wall torches, but don't want to crowd your tabletop with walls? I have the solution! At a minimum, print the torch cap in a translucent/transparent material. I use clear resin. Also print a torch base. I use PLA. Optionally, print a battery holder as well. This is designed for 3mm LEDs. You can use a single LED, but I prefer stacking two LEDs on top of each other. I put an orange flickering LED into the flame cap, and I sand down the tip of a yellow flickering LED so it's flat and fit it underneath the orange LED. The combination of the orange and yellow flickering LEDs creates a very convincing flickering flame effect. I use ~13mm lengths of 1mm shrink tubing to insulate and combine the leads together, then another ~13mm length of ~6mm shrink tubing, wrapped around both LEDs and the base of the flame, to hold the torch together. If needed, a drop of CA glue will firmly hold the torch cap and LED together. Run the leads through the two holes in the top of the Torch Base, and then bend the leads around the bottom of the base in the slots. Slide in a CR2032 battery and viola! You have a great looking flickering torch flame! There are two ways to attach the torch to OpenLock/MagBall floor tiles. 1 - Just place the exposed half of the battery against an edge of a floor tile that contains a MagBall. The magnet will hold the torch in place. 2 - If you don't use MagBalls, then print a battery holder and clip it into the floor tile. The exposed half of the battery will drop into the battery holder. This "wall" torch will fit in the 1/4" negative space created with my narrow spacers if you are using them. The torch sticks straight up so as to not interfere with the minis. The flame model is based on [Flame by Mattias_Selin](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2949393).
