Gothic bell-shaped tea light cover. The layered structure casts dramatic shadows when illuminated, creating an enchanting atmosphere for holiday displays, fantasy interiors, or table décor.

Use LED candles only.

Measuring Instructions (Cosplay / Décor Scaling)

Although intended as a tea light cover, you can scale it for many uses (ornament, prop, architectural décor).

Tea Light / Candle Fit

Measure the diameter of your LED tea light.

Scale the full version only

Ensure vertical clearance: measure your candle height and match scaling accordingly.

Measuring Instructions (Miniatures / Dioramas)

Measure your figure’s height.

For fantasy dioramas, scale the bell to be ¼ or ⅓ of the character’s size for a magical lantern effect.

Use 0.08–0.12 mm layer height for small prints to keep Gothic details crisp.

Printing Instructions

Layer height: 0.16–0.24 mm

Supports: Required for the upper dome and finial

Walls: 2–3 perimeters recommended

Material: PLA or PLA+ for best detail sharpness

Precut version: Print each segment flat for maximum stability

Safety: Use only with LED candles — never open flame.

Finishing Tips

Dry-brush silver, gold, or bone over black primer for an aged cathedral look

Add wash (dark brown/black) to deepen arches and recesses

Metallics, antique bronze, or patina greens work beautifully

A hairdryer or low-heat gun can help slightly adjust alignment during assembly

Precut Version Notes

Precut model includes: base structure, dome, topper finial, and alignment keys.

Scale first, before placing parts in the slicer.

Insert pins/keys during gluing to maintain perfect alignment.

Reinforce seams with superglue gel or epoxy.

If printing large versions, internal seams can be backed with tape or thin plastic strips.
