If you enjoy the model and the candles it produces, a Boost is always appreciated. It really helps me keep creating new candle molds and seasonal designs.
🕯️ Candle Casting Instructions:
- Make sure the mold is clean and dry before pouring.
- Melt your chosen candle wax:
- Paraffin: 60–68 °C
- Soy wax: 52–60 °C
- Beeswax: 62–70 °C
- Secure the wick in the center of the mold.
- Pour the melted wax slowly to avoid bubbles.
- Let the candle cool completely before demolding.
If a small seam appears where the mold parts meet, simply remove it carefully with a knife or scalpel for a smooth finish.
🧩 Printing Notes:
- Printed with PETG is recommended for better heat resistance, though PLA also works fine.
- Due to FDM printing, small ridges may appear inside the mold where the wax can stick. To minimize this:
- Lightly smooth or seal the inner surface (especially around overhangs), or
- Use a release agent such as mold spray or even simple baking spray as a household alternative.
- It works without, but some wax may remain in the mold after use.
- Holding rings that clamp the mold parts together can fit tightly — this is intentional to ensure proper alignment and reduce gaps.
- For added stability, I recommend three wall lines and lightning infill to save material.
🌟 Extra Details:
Each candle mold creates a circa 5 cm candle that looks great on its own or as part of a holiday set. You can mix in color pigments or glitter for a unique effect — perfect for gifts or seasonal decor.

Looking for something completely different?
Besides my spooky and seasonal candle molds, I also made a few slightly more questionable creations inspired by water and wastewater themes.
You can now also find:

- elegant water drop candle molds
- and a completely unnecessary, but surprisingly funny poop candle mold
Because apparently my design process has no supervision anymore.
