This is a protective enclosure for @MaxT's fantastic "Christmas Lantern" (https://www.printables.com/model/331836-christmas-lantern-christmas-lantern-christmas-lant).

The Christmas Lantern fits snug inside the base of the enclosure and secures it into place when the lid is carefully screwed over the top, preventing it from moving when stored/transported and keeping the delicate motifs from being damaged or crushed.

Four finger holes in the base make it easy to dislodge the Lantern from the enclosure base, and there is also a central divot that can hold its own LED tealight (NOT a real tealight!) so that the enclosure can double as a lantern itself when not being used.

I've put up 2 versions of the lid; one plain and one with stars engraved around the outside.

No supports are necessary when printing any component; you can print the base upright, but turn the lid upside down.

My pictured examples feature standard 0.2mm layer height with 10% rectilinear infill, but I've also printed it on draft 0.24mm at 5% infill and it turned out alright, albeit slightly rougher around the stars, so choose a combo in that range maybe.
