HempkinZ Table Lighter Ashtray
Why Table Lighters? Why not?! At the start of the 20thCentury, Table Lighters were beginning to gain their initial popularity. During the 30s – 60s, Table Lighters were so widely used, that they became as commonplace as the cast iron skillet and a highball in the afternoon.
Fast forward to today, smaller gatherings in people’s homes have become more commonplace. Smoking is more acceptable in all forms and how many times have you heard, ‘has anyone seen my lighter?' or 'have you got a light?'
The time is right and the market is ready to bring back this classic at a reasonable price point.
How It's Made
The Idea in Words
'Blending' / 'Creating'
'Blending' / 'Creating'
It all starts with an idea. Our ideas come from many hours researching and analyzing cannabis strains. Our Cann-People personalities are created in part, from what consumers think.

'Blending' / 'Creating'
Converting an idea into an online 3D object is not an easy nor quick task. Many hours and days are spent blending, building and revising until the perfect file is ready for prototyping.
Slicing for Printing
'Blending' / 'Creating'
3D Resin Print Process
The slicer program takes the 3D file and 'slices' it into many uniform layers, as small as .02 - .05mm. The printer 'cures' or 'builds' our object one slice at a time, until it is built in one piece.
3D Resin Print Process
3D Printing IS Our Future
3D Resin Print Process
Our machines use an SLA / MSLA printing process which beams ultraviolet (UV) light into a tank of liquid, resin, triggering a reaction that solidifies the resin into an object.
After the Print Finishes

3D Printing IS Our Future
Once a Resin Print is completed, we use a series of steps and solvents to properly clean away any excess resin. A final curing process with more UV Light is needed before sanding and painting.
