Tealight Molds & Wick Holder

Tealight Mold

• A simple tealight mold that casts x25 tealights. 
• A soft mold to help keep shape while curing. 
• The tealights are approximately 38 mm (1.5 in) in diameter by 16 mm (0.63 in) high.
• Print the mold in TPU rubber.
• Printed on an Ender 3 at .2mm layer height with brim enabled.
  • How to use:
    • Place mold flat on a piece of parchment paper. A little bit of tape can be used to hold the mold in place but it is not necessary.
    • Insert your wicks into the center of each mold. You can use a bit of tape, a double sided sticker, or some melted wax to hold it in place.
    • Use a wick holder to keep wick centered.
    • Pour melted wax into each container right up to the brim.
    • Let the wax harden and cool.
    • Lift the mold up and remove the parchment paper from underneath.
    • Push candles out of from the bottom using your thumbs.
    • Voila! You have made you own tealights.

Tealight Mold BIG

• One solid piece tealight mold that casts x25 tealights.
• I recommend using the first version as it works better and is easier to remove candles. This was only made at request of a customer. Thought I'd upload it anyway.
• Designed to be printed in TPU rubber.
  • 0.2mm layer height, 2 perimeters, 5% gyroid infill, 4 top/bottom layers, 4mm brim enabled

EDITS:

     March 16th

     March 25th

• added a x9 tealight version for easier printing
• modified the molds to have no bottoms because they were tested and candles were difficult to remove.
