I am on a personal quest to fix a problem which has plagued #Hanukkah since the dawn of time.

And by "dawn of time" I mean since #LEDs were invented.

There are many LED menorahs, but they're all-in-one things, with the LED "candles" built into the #menorah. I have one, and it's fine, but I also kinda hate it. What I *really* want is LED candles which I can stick in whatever menorah I want. A BYOM(enorah) solution.

I found some incredibly misleading ones on Amazon, which are photoshopped to look like they fit in a typical menorah, but are in fact GIANT AAA battery powered candles which are 4x bigger than a typical menorah would accommodate.

Despite the absurdly prescriptive nature of most #Jewish traditions, there is no mandate for the size of a Hanukkah candle... but most of them are about 9mm diameter.

So, somewhat in a similar vein to nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq68303eezkmd40tdp5kvpaapr5uky8s66u6uaexz5qr334ft77jrssucvyl (nprofile…cvyl) 's quest for the perfect Xmas lights, I am iterating on 3D printing my own LED Hanukkah candles. Or more specifically, I am printing "holders" for some of these - https://a.co/d/iaM59TD

I'm up to my 9th revision so far... I think I'm honing in on a good solution, but with each print I manage to discover some new innovation or problem I want to address. 😂
