I took the dumpster files idea from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5156430 and added a battery tray to the bottom so it can stand alone.

I also modified the top insert to hold the switch and tiny board that came out of an old flickering candle I had, so now the light flickers too. There is also a 2mm hole just behind the switch to push a paper clip down to eject the battery tray when you need to change batteries. The switch housing is made to use a hot rod or soldering iron tip to melt the studs after inserting the switch so you don't need screws. You can still glue it if you like too.

Also modified the flame to fit the model and increased the wall thickness since it it was printing holes in it on my Ender 3. It still emits good lighting with translucent filament, and prints a lot better now. The base of it has more of a pad to glue to the insert as well.\

Note: I don't have the magnets installed yet as they have not arrived. I just wanted to upload this since the magnets didn't really change at all in my remix
