Description

A set of corner and side designs (OpenSCAD files and STLs) for silicone mold boxes: making your own silicone molds. Both OpenSCAD files are customizable.
The default design is compatible with the hard plastic mold boxes you can find everywhere. STLs are included that are compatible with the cheaper, soft silicone mold boxes. And I added some reduced material STL versions that minimize filament used (and print time).
This prints best on a smooth plate, because you want tape or hot glue to adhere well to the bottom of the box.
Do not print with a resin printer: most resins are not compatible with 2 part silicone and will inhibit curing.

The binder clips are small (about 2cm, 0.75 inch), and some medium (3cm, about 1.25 inch). You can find them at any office supply, or online retailer.

I really would like more feedback from folks printing this - how well is it working for you?

works perfectly for the purpose! I make very small items for jewelry or keycaps in resin, so I only printed the smaller parts.

Great to hear! Don't forget you can customize the sizes in the Customizer or OpenSCAD to get exactly what you need. And thanks for the example photos!

Replying to @Zaphina :

Many people miss it, don't understand what it does, or don't see it because of ad/popup blockers. And fewer people still realize they can customize the SCAD file in OpenSCAD on their desktop. Hence, the reminder for people actually interested in customization. Have fun!
