A printable two-part mold for a cute little ghost candle — just in time for Halloween. No silicone needed: print the two halves, close them, pour the wax, and pop the ghost out.
I've cast two ghosts in it so far (white and a soft grey-blue), and both came out cleanly.
What's in the files
Two mold halves (about 108 × 108 mm each) on one plate
A pour opening at the top that also holds the wick
What you'll need
Wax: I use a 50/50 blend of soy wax and paraffin
A wick
A release agent — a thin layer of petroleum jelly works well
Optional: wax colorant
How to cast
Print both halves. I used a fine 0.08 mm layer height so the face comes out crisp.
Wipe a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside both halves.
Place the wick in the groove at the top and close the halves — the mold holds the wick in place.
Pour the melted wax slowly through the top opening.
As it cools the wax will sink a little in the middle — top it up with a second pour.
When it's fully cool, open the halves and take the ghost out.
Print settings
Printer: Bambu Lab A1, 0.4 mm nozzle (any FDM printer works)
Material: PLA
Layer height: 0.08 mm
Walls: 2
Infill: 10% gyroid
Supports: none
How the mold was made
You can build a two-part mold like this in any CAD program if you're willing to spend some time on it. I made it with 3DGEN — it turns any STL into a printable two-part mold right in the browser, no CAD needed.
Happy Halloween — share your ghosts in the makes! 👻
