I was looking for a tea light that could be sent in an envelope as a kind of Christmas greeting card. There are a lot of tea lights here, but I haven't found one that folds or is pluggable. So I thought about how it could work, that the parts could be sent inexpensively in a bubble envelope.

And here comes my tea light. It is designed for printing with two colours with a dual extruder or multi-material, but can also be printed with one colour and the text as a hole. By the way, it seems that the file doesn't work properly in Customizer. I recommend to download the file and edit it locally.
For multi material, you have to do two exports, one with "what_to_print" set to "text", and one with "what_to_print" set to "rest". If you print only with one color, set the "fontthickness" higher as the "windowthickness" and export only the "rest".

Hint: You can print this also with two colors, even if you have only a single extruder.
* export both files, text and rest, as you would do for m
