Description
This is a two part mold for making a candle, bar of soap, chocolate bars, or whatever you want to make to look like Han Solo in Carbonite.
I made one version with detailed sides which will work if you print in some flexible filament like TPU. I made a flat sided version for those who cannot print TPU. Candles and soap, I suggest PET-G or ABS. Chocolate would be the best in something flexible as well.
If you are going to do a candle, I would suggest scaling up a little, as the mold is a little thin for a candle. Also, be careful with pouring your wax at the proper temp, or you'll get shrinkage like I did from pouring too hot.
I designed it to be held together with clamps so that it doesn't leak when pouring in the medium.
I suggest printing with 4 side walls and 6 top and bottom layers with 25% infill for best support internally with pouring hot wax, but especially with soap.
