Constantine holy water ampoules…

It could work. I remembers seeing ones that did not have seams. The challenge would be finding baubles in 5cm with the iridescence and no seams. It took a fair amount of trial and error to find the correct ones in glass. My Christmas tree this year is covered in clear glass baubles .

For reference, these have no seam. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076DLSSTS

Yeah that would be the challenge. It’s probably easier to pickup decent priced glass ones. I am based in Germany, and I’ve managed to find a few options at the correct size. Just need to double check the cap fitting.

This was the one I also found. Appreciate you sharing it.

It’s odd that 5cm baubles are pretty rare it seems and they tend to be in sets with other sizes, like the one you shared.

I thought I had found another set, but it was not good in the end.

Here are my ampoules
I went for the easier way and did not paint the crosses (used painted masking tape and am not that unhappy with the final result)
A huge thank you to Mach

Nice work! What filament did you use for the tops? I tried printing with Polymaker PVB and ABS but wasn't happy with the results.

Funny that you're asking that once I think it can be printed with better results. I used basic PLA and some stripes can be seen on the caps.
Maybe with resin a better reult could be achieved?

I'm a resin printing beginner so you may have different results. I didn't get great results due to the design of the caps. Regardless of the orientation that I tried, I got failed cap prints but good results on other prints. So, I molded them after getting shapeways prints.

I've been testing a method for sealing these for the last few months. I'm using a water putty to seal them. JB Weld Putty It seems to be working. I did wind up with floaters on two of them - on one, I know what the error was, poor cleaning before sealing. The other I'm not sure.
