Crescent Moon Votive Holder

Made to order, roughly ten hours on the printer, and it ships once that print is done, so allow a little extra time. Ten hours is a long run for a single curve. The curve is the entire object.

A slender waxing crescent that cradles the LED votive along its inner edge, so the glow follows the line of the moon instead of pooling in a dish. The finish changes what you get: Charcoal Black keeps it a silhouette with a lit seam down the middle, Muted Terracotta and Army Blue hold their color against the light, and Pastel Mint, Pastel Beige and Cotton White sit pale enough to let the warm bloom through.

Ten hours apiece is also why this crescent moon votive holder is printed to order rather than stacked on a shelf. Each runs on its own, and the small differences in layer and texture that come out of that separate a piece made for you from one stamped out by the thousand.

The details

• 3D printed matte PLA, printed to order, roughly a 10-hour print
• Six finishes: Charcoal Black, Muted Terracotta, Army Blue, Pastel Mint, Pastel Beige and Cotton White
• 1 warm white LED votive candle included
• 1 free pack of CR2032 batteries included
• Hand-designed, printed in-studio, one at a time

Straight talk

For flameless LED candles only. A real flame will warp, melt or ignite the plastic, so the LED votive it comes with is the only thing that belongs in it. Layer lines and small texture variations show up close and are part of a printed piece rather than a fault. This listing carries no measured height, so if the exact footprint matters for a shelf, ask me before ordering.

Ten hours to make, and about two seconds to notice from the doorway, every night.
