This is a Japanese Tōrō Lantern, designed to replicate one that I built from reclaimed timber. More specifically it is considered to be a dai-dōrō; ground or pedestal mounted lantern. 

You can see the original lantern I built here -  [https://youtu.be/72I0hmizYPY](https://youtu.be/72I0hmizYPY)

This version is designed to house the Maker's Supply LED Lamp Kit (MH001), with an alternative base if you want to use the LED Flame Tea Light Candle (or similar). NOT TO BE USED WITH REAL TEA LIGHT CANDLES!!!

The project is a long project to print and will use around ¾ of a 1kg roll of filament. It is printed in 10 parts and easily assembled. 
For the demo photos I've used PLA Matte Teracotta (11203) for the body, and PETG Translucent Light Blue for the screens (that's the only translucent filament I had on hand). Instead for the screens I would recommend  using PETG Translucent Clear or Light Brown for a better effect. For the body there are plenty of options from PLA Cocoa & Latte Browns to PLA Wood options, depending on your desired style. 

I highly recommend printing with tree supports and taking your time to gently remove them, especially from the main frame. The cross bars on the ‘shoji’ windows are delicate. 

Lastly, the windows are printed at a certain angle, so the side that is up after printing should face out from the lantern. They are a snug fit inside, however I used a few drops of superglue to keep them in place. I recommend changing the ‘Sparse Infill Density’ to 100% so no infill pattern shows through the translucent PETG when lit from behind. 

Enjoy my lantern!
