Can resin printers be used to make candle holders?
As the title suggests. I have an Elegoo Mars and am wondering if standard resin is suitable for candle holders?
Not for wax melts, I know that wouldn't work, but just as something to hold a tea light or to fill with wax to make an actual candle?

as a holder for an actual candle - yes.
As the outer shell of a candle, as you proposed - probably not.
Acid test try snd set fire to a resin print - if it burns, don't use it as a candle shell.
Likewise tealight holders need to be non-flammable.

Yeah I tried, it burns haha.
I've got a couple of bits holding tea lights at the moment in the garage. If the candles burn out and the resin is unscathed I shall consider it viable.
Thanks.

not a good idea - tealights are a real fire hazaed. eventuslly the flame melts the wax and you end up with a pool of liquid and flammable wax around a naked flame - a slight knock of the surface it's on can spill the wax and turn whatever it lands on into a potential candle.
