Washington Monument Candle Mould

This is a candle mould for a Washington monument candle. It's actually one side and you can print two to create a split mould for making 5 monuments at a time. The model for the monument is scaled correctly, but I can't remember what exactly the scale is

Printing: 
Since you will be pouring hot wax down the center of these moulds, I would recommend printing in a high temp filament like PETG or ABS. I had success with PLA but mould lifetime was greatly reduced. Use a lot of walls and infill, and this will improve the performance under heat and pressure from the clamps. 

Wax: 
For the wick I used standard hempwick from Amazon (used for smoking), the kind that is already coated with beeswax. I put the wick in the mould before closing the two halves and then used a wooden skewer to center the wick in the center of the base of the mould. 
I used beeswax for this which is a specific temperature and viscosity and found that you really didn't want to heat up the wax much past it's melting point. Using a ladel or cup to pour in the wax into the small holes can be tough too so having it be kindof viscous is ideal especially if this is your first time. As always be careful of hot wax. Don't do this over a gas stove. 
I imagine something like parafin wax would work too. 
 

Setup:
I used a plate, two halfs of the mould, some hand clamps, a skewer, a small ladel, and several other additional tools to do this. Having gloves in case some hot wax gets on you, a screwdriver, and extra clamps never hurts. 

Once you pour in the wax, I recommend putting the whole mould in the freezer which cools the wax much faster and makes removal very easy. If you allow to cool completely or for a very long time it will be harder to get out.
