Stable Foundation: A weighted-style base ensures the holder remains secure on any surface.

Standard Compatibility: The cup is designed to fit standard 20 mm taper candles.

Print Settings & Support Guidance

To ensure the best surface finish, especially around the handle and cup, please follow these guidelines:

Orientation: Print vertically, flat on its base.

Support Requirements: Supports are necessary for this model.

Handle: Use supports under the finger loop.

Candle Cup: Supports are required under the overhanging shoulder of the cup.

Support Type: Tree supports are highly recommended. They are much easier to remove from curved surfaces and leave minimal scarring.

Layer Height: 0.16 mm – 0.2 mm for optimal detail.

Infill: 15-20% (Gyroid).

Material: PLA, PETG, or Matte filaments for a ceramic-like finish.

*Pro Tip: *

The Ceramic LookFor a premium, non-plastic appearance, enable the Fuzzy Skin feature in your slicer for the outer walls only. This creates a beautiful textured finish that mimics cast iron or stoneware and helps hide any marks left by supports.

Safety Warning

3D printed materials are sensitive to heat and can be flammable.

For maximum safety, use with LED battery-operated candles.

If using real wax candles, always use a metal sleeve or protective foil insert inside the cup. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
