I have designed a Spanish chiminea tea light holder and was just wondering what thickness I should print it?

(an electric tea light would be put inside)

Do you think this would be ok to have a real tea light inside?

I have just been doing some testing with some nylon and a tea light flame. Placing the nylon along the same profile as the chiminea and the nylon gets hot but doesn't melt/wrap. What about use over time as well? ]]> AaronOxenham 2012-11-15T20:38:11-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56915&th=11580#msg_56915 Youknowwho4eva 2012-11-15T20:39:37-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56916&th=11580#msg_56916
cm: 5.598 w x 10 d x 5.586 h in: 2.2 w x 3.9 d x 2.2 h

I would print it in nylon white or black. ]]> AaronOxenham 2012-11-15T20:46:43-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56919&th=11580#msg_56919 http://www.shapeways.com/materials/strong-flexible]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-11-15T20:58:23-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56923&th=11580#msg_56923

Agreed 1 mm feels so much stronger than .75

How is the lid held on?
EDIT: ahh sry there is a circular line on the render. i assumed you removed the top half to place the tea light in. But i see you just slide it in through the window.]]> Piers 2012-11-15T21:33:38-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=56995&th=11580#msg_56995
