The Apotropaic Burner

I worked pretty hard on this design to get it working the way i want it to. It is pretty tall incense burner. The incense sticks are held upside down in a clip from the top of the burner. When incense is burned, the ashes will fall directly down into a small bowl and the smoke will come out of the eyes, nose and mouth. The small bowl (Apotropaic 3) should be about half way full of salt. This is a multiple part design and it should not be seen as demonic but as sort of a ward or a warning to ward off bad energy. The person who helped me with this design actually likened it to a scarecrow. After awhile the skull part will get stained from the smoke but this can be cleaned with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol. The incense stick should be at least half an inch away from the salt bowl when lit so you may need to trim down your incense or print the tube part of this design longer. Try not to leave old incense sticks in the plastic clips after they burn out because it may deform the plastic if left there for days (Even if the clip that holds the incense stick is slightly deformed from not removing the old sticks, it is designed to still be able to clip on to new sticks. Make sure the incense stick is facing straight downard and not touching any walls.

Commercial licenses for this and all my other unique designs available exclusively through my patreon.

Skull lid part should be printed with supports on the edges (under the lip where it catches onto the top of the tube part) with painted on supports if possible. Supports in the whole part may affect the flow of the smoke. I printed with 3 walls and 20% gyroid infill. I also included and alternate top (with incense holding clip) if you do not want the demon skull one.
