Packaging

What I have learnt from this project: 3D printing is great/fast/ convenience... But it will be very expensive for a big size print. So, it’s not good for mass production as 3D printer is high technology.

I didnt choose to print with the highest quality printer as the Candle Holder already costed $35 with a medium printer.

I was about doing the desk lamp but have to change all the ideas because of high prices of 3D printer. So, checking the prices before going too far with your project is better. Try to reduce the costs as much as possible.

Test your ideas. Print a small version of your design or a small part of your design for testing. Because, maybe you might change your design/mind again.
