Be careful when making candles, hot wax can burn you.

Printed parts:

Form 2x

Clip 2x

Bottom 1x

Wick holder 1x (not necessary)

Don't forget to turn off top layers and infill for the top of Form part. Use the modifier as shown in the image. I also used 5 perimeters for this part.

 

How to make Candle?
  1. Assemble all parts of the mold as shown in the picture. Pour water into the cavities in the Form. For easier removal, you can wipe the inside with a little vegetable oil (mostly not necessary)
  2. Measure the wax and heat the wax in a water bath until it is completely liquid. Optionally add colors.
  3. Fill the molds with wax. If you are making a larger candle, save some wax for later.
  4. Place the molds in the refrigerator or in a cool place.
  5. Let the candle cool for about half an hour. (The bigger the candle, the longer the time)
  6. If you made a large candle, on top will be a small crater. Cover it with hot wax and let it cool again.
  7. Remove the clamps, bottom, wick holder and split the mold.
  8. In case of uneven pouring, level the bottom of the candle with a knife.

I got the most inspiration when making this model here and here.
