Round Dumpling Mold — 19 & 37 Cells

A set of two round dumpling molds with hexagonal cells for forming 19 or 37 homemade dumplings at a time. Use the compact version for smaller portions or the large mold for preparing a family-sized batch.

Overview

This set includes two round retro-style dumpling molds designed for forming multiple homemade dumplings in one batch.

The large version contains 37 hexagonal cells, while the compact version contains 19 cells. This allows you to choose the mold according to the desired portion size, available workspace, and printer build volume.

Both molds use a round base with hexagonal forming cells. The design is intended for use with two thin sheets of rolled dough and a rolling pin.

How to use

1. Roll out two thin sheets of dough of approximately the same size.
2. Lightly dust the mold and the dough with flour to reduce sticking.
3. Place the first dough sheet over the mold.
4. Carefully form shallow pockets above the cells.
5. Add a small amount of prepared filling to each pocket.
6. Keep the filling inside the dough pockets and avoid overfilling.
7. Cover the mold with the second dough sheet.
8. Roll across the surface while gradually increasing pressure.
9. Remove the excess dough.
10. Carefully shake out or release the formed dumplings.

Printer compatibility

The 37-cell model measures 295.6 × 295.6 × 16 mm and requires a large-format build plate.

Before printing, check the available build area, exclusion zones, support footprint, skirt or brim settings, and model scale in your slicer.

The 19-cell model measures 225 × 225 × 16 mm and is suitable for a wider range of printers, but its final placement should still be checked in the slicer.

Food-contact notice

A filament or raw material being described as suitable for food-contact applications does not automatically make the completed 3D-printed model suitable for food use.

Before using the mold with dough or filling, verify that the complete manufacturing process — including the material, pigments, printer, nozzle, equipment hygiene, print settings, post-processing method, and finished surfaces — is suitable for the intended food-contact application.

Inspect every food-contact surface for:

- plastic strings;
- burrs or sharp defects;
- loose particles;
- cracks or layer gaps;
- support residue;
- damaged forming edges;
- areas that cannot be thoroughly cleaned.

Do not use the model with food if the finished product cannot be properly cleaned or has not been verified for the intended application.

Clean the mold thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before and after every use.
