This wizard was inspired by my love for Gandalf and the timeless magic of light guiding through darkness. The model is designed to print in multiple separate pieces — allowing faster prints, easier painting, and multi-color results without needing a multi-color printer. The wizard’s staff is built to hold an LED tea light or RGB puck light, casting a mystical glow through the gemstone at its tip.
🧙♂️ Model Details
Prints in several separate parts to speed up printing and allow multi-color assembly
The staff is designed to hold:
LED Tea Light Candle: [https://a.co/d/edgb6Xs]
RGB Puck Light: [https://a.co/d/dZVWg0A]
The gemstone fits into the staff in one specific orientation
Tested gemstone materials:
Basic White PLA – best diffusion
Translucent PLA – brighter, sharper light
Requires 100% scale print for the listed lights to fit properly
Needs a 250mm x 250mm build plate for full-size compatibility
You can use a smaller printer build plate, but you may need to shop around for a smaller LED light, or simply use a silk filament for the gemstone if you don’t need it to glow
