Drippy looking pillar candles, hold a LED tealight. Cavity for tealight measures 37mm diameter x 17.8mm deep. Designed to hold this specific tealight available from Amazon.

Personally I prefer the look of the yellow LED "flame," but white is also available in the same size.

If these tealights are not available or you use one of a larger size then I recommend scaling the model appropriately in the slicer.

Using a translucent PLA filament to allow for the light to glow through the plastic will look more realistic. Lighter colors will let more light through.

Design is hollow to allow more light to pass through and to reduce the amount of plastic used. This also makes it so weird infill patterns are not seen through the translucent walls. I recommend setting slicer to print with 3 or 4 perimeters. Wall thickness is ~1.67mm. No support material is needed. Internal support for tealight cavity is already built in.

Infill doesn't matter, but setting to 100% ensures solid walls.
