3D model description
Zodiac Lantern SET with changeable panels with astrological signs, symbols and simplified constellations
No glue needed for assembling
Every sign is in separate ZIP file
Each with 7 panels inside (10 in the Cancer as there is a crab and a lobster image)
IMPORTANT
You can buy each sign separate if you want just few of it.
The price of this full set is smaller than 12 signs combined and it contains 2 panels more and a diffuser (a model that can cover the whole lantern for more diffused light).

Here is the full set of my first Zodiac Tealigh Covers (with links to each sign too)
https://cults3d.com/en/creations/zodiac-tealight-cover
It's the solid cover without assembling required and without changeable panels
Signs and Symbols are a little different in the Lantern version (as we are printing the panels flat) and it is easier to print and storage
A NOTE
'Original' panel is with romboidal holes pattern
Tested with tealight on PLA prints. No deformations were noticed (nor in panels nor in base) but there can be some if you will use bigger and fatter candles - be advised
Made in Blender 3D
Printed with Galaxy Black PLA from Devil Design and True Gold Easy PLA from Fiberology on JG Maker A1 with 0.2mm layer hight

UPDATE 16 I 2024
Improved Base, Top and Bars models. It will hold stronger now
Added Test files to check if your slicer and printer settings are right
3D printing settings
You need to print a Top, Base, 6 Bars and 6 Panels
No supports (printed 'flat')
For more light use transparent filaments
For better visibility of shapes use dark color for top layers
Panels may look better with 0.1mm layer hight for first two layers (on models of Symbols or 'diffused' versions). You can use different color for this layers
Models were made for and tested with 0.4mm nozzle
Panels were designed to be facing with top layer to the outside (more details should be visible then, with less shadow on the panels) but you can flip it (left to right) in the slicer and use it the other side for smoother wall (especially if you have a printer with glass bed)
If your nozzle is too close to the bed or you set the flow to high you may need to use a knife or file to make holes little bigger to fit everything right
