Create your own home garden sun orb with this easy mould design. It features two identical bottom halves and two identical top halves.

The pictures shown are moulded using a fine, fast drying mortar with a sandstone oxide.

The finished orb is 220mm x 220mm x 220mm H.

The mould bodies have been printed in CF-PLA to maintain a stiffer shape. However normal PLA should be ok. Keep in mind that there is approximately 10kg of mortar, 2Lt of water and 500g of oxide poured into the mould.

CF-PETG would a better choice if you intend on doing several runs.
I have done 8 garden orbs from this one CF-PLA mould, however it is starting to wear and fatigue.

The two mould hemispheres are bolted together using:

  • 12x M6 x 20mm bolts, washers and nuts.

  • 6x M6 x 20mm Countersunk bolts.
