This is a new side panel for my lantern design in a valentine’s theme. It is a straightforward print that looks great with one transparent filament but can also be printed with two or more colours if you like.
Please note that only the files for the side panels are available on this page. You will need the frame elements to assemble a functional lantern. Download the necessary model files here: Modular Lantern Framework.
You will find several PrusaSlicer project files, like LR2268-10-hearts PETG One Colour Print

Using real candles with the lantern requires caution and proper handling, especially when using PLA or PETG filaments, and both materials pose certain risks when exposed to heat or open flames.
PLA is particularly susceptible to melting and igniting when exposed to high temperatures. Once ignited, it does not stop burning easily, posing a significant fire hazard. PETG filaments, on the other hand, have higher melting points and are generally more flame-resistant. However, some PETG filaments may still burn easily.
To minimize risks when using real candles with the lantern:
This is the structure of the print that allows up to four different colours (including the frame colour).

The photos of the real prints were printed using an Original Prusa i3 MK3S+, using the following filaments:

Happy Printing!
