Large Ice Cream Cone Vase mold for use with cement, plaster, wax etc. There are two options, "ICE CREAM" or "ICE PLANT"
Printing The Mold
The Bottom Cap and Main Body are designed to be printed in TPU or another flexible material. TPU 95A works well and makes it easy to peel the mold off after the casting has set and also bend and flex to clean the mold between uses and will last for many, many castings.
The main body should be printed "topside-down" so the text is upside down in relation to the printing plate.
When printing the main body, be sure to enable the setting in your slicer to "Avoid Crossing Walls" or "Avoid Crossing Perimeters," also manually paint your printing seam opposite the mold seam/gap. This will prevent stringing from ruining the inside mold surface and/or inadvertently sealing the mold seam/gap. It goes without saying that having your TPU setting dialed in will make this print much easier.
The Center Piece is meant to be printed in vase mode, with an over extruded wall thickness (minimum 0.8mm, but 1.0mm or 1.2mm is better). Printing the center in TPU means you can pull it out of the casting and use it again after the casting cures. OR - print it in PLA or other hard material and leave it embedded in the final print for a unique design flare. In either case, printing the center with a coarse layer height can help it grip into place onto the cap. I'd suggest using masking tape to help hold it in place regardless though.
Prepping The Mold for Use
Note: All the pieces are meant to fit together with tight tolerances since the TPU may stretch/loosen over time. Removing the bottom cap after curing can take a little strength and patience the first couple of times using the mold.
Slip the Center Piece over the ridge on the inside of the Bottom Cap. I suggest using some masking tape on the non-casting side (up the donut hold on the bottom) to keep the two from accidentally separating while casting.
Slip/Snap the main body and bottom cap together. Make sure the lip on the body is fully seated into the cap all the way around.
Use medium to large binder clips on the tabs of the main body to hold the seam closed.
Cement castings clean up really nicely with a Dremel/rotery tool and 180 to 320 grit buffing/polishing wheels.
Enjoy!
