Assemble Candle / tealight covers with 35 changeable panels with Viking's shapes and patterns to choose.
- 9,5cm diameter
- 8,7cm high
- printed in 14 pieces (base, top, 6 bars, 6 panels)
- no need of glueing (but it's safer to hold it by the bars when moving, especially when tealight or candle is inside)
- you can additionally lock the bars with a thread (tie it around the cutted part of bars - see photos with an axe) and use the thread as a handle too
- you can disassemble it, so it will use less storage space, and assemble it again when needed
FREE version of Lantern if you want to check if you like the model before you buy the Vikings Set

- there is 12 basic shapes in 35 configurations
- all (exept one - Troll Cross - the last on panels list) are in normal (with holes through) and diffused versions (with solid base that diffuse light more)
- additional diffuser model for a closer to original vikings lanterns look - print it in vase mode (spiralize) for best look
- you can use a diffuser with or without panels
- instead of a tealight or a candle you can use a battery light (as on test print photos) - if needed flip the candle cover upside down to have room for a cable
Assembling, additional informations:
- Video shows the easiest way to assemble (bottom and top close to each other when installing bars). Installing bars to base part and then putting on the top part may be little harder
- Bars will fit only one way (the pointy part to the inside)
- Panels are better looking when you install them more flat side (usually the first layer, the printer bed side) to the outside
- If panels will not hold push in top part little harder or use a file to scrap a little plastic on the bars, where top part holds, towards the base (so top part will be closer to base)
- version 1.1 of bars will hold the top and bottom parts stronger. Normal version is easier to put it
