About the Model

Bring a touch of cozy, retro atmosphere to your space with this classic Chamberstick style candle holder! This model perfectly blends the charming aesthetics of past centuries with modern 3D printing technology. The candle holder features a thoughtful and functional design: a wide base reliably catches wax drips (if using traditional candles), and a convenient finger loop handle allows you to carry it easily and comfortably. Designed with a standard hole size (20 mm), it perfectly fits most classic taper candles.

Pro Tips from the Designer:

Cast Iron or Ceramic Effect (As seen in the photos): To achieve the same amazing rough, forged texture seen in the renders, enable the Fuzzy Skin feature in your slicer (Cura / PrusaSlicer) for the outer walls only. Using textured filaments like Marble, Galaxy, Matte, or metallic PLAs will also yield stunning results!

Center of Gravity: To make the candle holder feel heavier, more stable, and premium, increase the number of Bottom Solid Layers to 10-15 in your slicer settings. This concentrates the weight at the base.

Important Safety Warning:

Please remember that standard 3D printing filaments (like PLA or PETG) can warp under high temperatures and are flammable.

The safest option is to pair this holder with beautiful LED (battery-operated) taper candles.

If you choose to use real burning wax candles, you MUST insert a protective metal sleeve or foil insert inside the cup to prevent the flame from ever touching the plastic. Never leave a burning candle unattended!
