3D-printing STL files to create your own silicone mold for x3 Tealight candles. One mold for 3 Сandles

This is the easiest way to start your silicone molds!
I Made a design of the most practical and simple mold for creating Tea-light candles — it requires a minimum of silicone (190 ml/6.5 oz) and only 35 grams of PLA to print the formwork!

My designs are not only modeled but also tested in real life — I am experimenting with the optimal sizes and shapes for printing and pouring.

! You need to use a non-silicone release spray like "Ease Release 200" for easy first demolding — otherwise, you'll have to break the frame to get the mold out.

The formwork  have sockets on the bottom of the mold, all you will need to do is mount master model in the sockets with double-sided tape or weak glue and then press out the silicone mold through the holes at the bottom (see video on my Instagram)
The silicone will push the inner framework up — it will need to be fixed by placing something flat on top of it, like a piece of glass. 

You can make your own silicone mold by printing the master model and frame on your 3D printer using PLA.
