Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I took the Flame from the Medieval Torch and scaled it down for a 3mm or 5mm LED. I had to increase the wall strength, otherwise it was too thin to slice/print.

I added a positive (snap-fit) and two negative cylinders (free-upper and free-lower) in prusa slicer.
