This mold is designed to create a tetrapod-shaped candle inspired by coastal wave breakers.
The mold features an integrated funnel at the top, making it easy to pour melted wax without spills and helping guide the wax smoothly into the cavity.
The tetrapod geometry naturally includes draft angles, allowing reliable demolding even with rigid 3D-printed molds.
A centered wick guide ensures proper wick alignment, reducing common failures during candle making.
As the candle burns, the structure gradually changes shape as each leg melts away, creating a visually interesting and dynamic burn process reminiscent of erosion by waves.
This design is suitable for rapid prototyping and short production runs using common 3D printing materials such as PLA, and it has been physically tested with real wax casting.
