These Japanese styled lanterns were designed as centerpieces & table numbers for a friendâs wedding. Battery powered fairy lights were placed in each lantern to illuminate them for the event. 16 centerpieces consisting of 96 individual parts were printed using 4 Ultimakerâs, all printing 24/7 for a full week!
The lanterns print in four main parts:
Frame - Designed to print without supports, prints in 8.5 hours at 0.2 layer height, 15% infill, and 2 shellsâ¨
Lid - Fills entire bed of UM2+, prints in 7 hours at 0.2 layer height, 15% infill, 2 shellsâ¨
Insert - Use Spiralize (Vase) mode in Cura, print using natural PLA or a clear filament like T-Glase
Numbers (optional) - printed separately and then glued to the insert
