Introduction: Tea Light Christmas Trees
These tea lights are an amazing addition to your Christmas decoration.
Supplies
All you need is:
5mm
LED
3D Printer
Solder
Battery clip
OPTIONAL Switch
and a battery!
Step 1: Printing
Open the SCAD file in your preferred software and customize it
Import both files into preferred slicer (I used cura)
Print both files
Step 2: Clip and Battery
Install the clip and hot glue it into place.
Run the wires up through the little holes with the corresponding text on the print (+ and -)
Step 3: Installing LED and (maybe) Switch
Solder the LED to the correct wires from the battery pack.
If you want you can add a switch to the tea light in the switch holder (hot glue that in place too)
Step 4: Assemble
The tea light should fit right into the trees. If it doesn't you can use some hot glue just be careful of warping the plastic
Step 5: OPTIONAL
You can use a normal tea light instead of this one. It might not fit into the tree as well though
Step 6: Done
Hope you enjoyed

I have been trying to design something like this for my student's holiday gifts I make them. Now they will be able to turn their lights off! Great design!
