Instead of buying 44 candles for Hanukkah, I made my own beeswax candle with a printed mold and stand.

I used a PrusaMini to print two-part molds in PLA. One for the tall candle and one for the large "Staircase" candle.
On the first night, I use the tall candle to light the tallest part of the big staircase candle. I let it burn until it hits the first little marker, then blow it out. That melts it just enough so that the next night, two wicks are lined up. On the second night, I light those two wicks and let them burn down to the height of the third step. Ect....
The beeswax melts between 60-65°C, which is the same glass transition temperature as PLA. Since I am using the mold for only a few candles, I didn't think it would matter. I didn't really notice any large defects in the mold after use, but if I do, I'll post an update.
