This is the Royal Lovers Stained Glass Display!
The model features a two medieval couples standing in front of a gothic cathedral archway with an illuminated stained glass window behind them. I originally printed mine entirely in black PLA (other than the stained glass insert), and I was surprised by how good the silhouette effect looked. When the light shines through the stained glass, it creates a really cool scene that looks great as bookshelf decor, a book nook, or even a small nightlight.
UPDATE: July 15th I added an ACOTAR inspired couple to the download!
I've also included a fully colored version for those of you willing to put in the extra print time. Personally, I still think the silhouette version is hard to beat, but both look fantastic.
The files include versions for both a standard LED tea light and the brighter plug-in LED puck lights.

Octagram Spiral Top Surface Pattern
The Octagram Spiral top surface pattern gives the stained glass a really cool texture when illuminated.

The fully colored version really shows the advantage of multi-head printers like the Snapmaker U1. That said, I still love the all-black silhouette version. It prints much faster, uses far less filament, and creates a beautiful stained glass effect when lit from behind. Of course, you can always paint the silhouette version yourself if you want the best of both worlds.
LED Lights I Used
For the display shown in my photos, I used these LED lights:
Higher Quality White LED Puck Lights
Budget RGB Option (Includes Remote)
If you print the stained glass using translucent filament, these RGB lights can create some really cool color-changing effects. They're not quite as bright as the white puck lights above, but they add a lot of customization.
Remote-Control LED Tea Lights
If you're printing the tea light version, these are the ones I used.
Happy printing!
