Candle wax ~411 g

A bell candle 74 mm across the mouth and 80 mm tall: a flared lip with a rounded sound bow, a double ring and a single ring on the waist, a domed shoulder with a ring of its own, and a beaded crown knob where the wick comes out. It is widest at the foot, so it stands firmly.

The mold is exactly what our two-part candle mold generator builds for it: two rigid halves with rubber-band grooves, pry pockets and a pour funnel on top. The bell is turned, so a seam straight through its axis releases every ring cleanly, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone, and the crisp rings come out as sharp as the print.

A Christmas candle for a mantelpiece or a table runner, alone or in a row of three. Pour it in gold, silver, red or white, and brush mica over the rings to pick them out. The zip carries both halves, the bell master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

How this mold works

What you need

3
  • About 115 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 127 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 70 mm candle, about 110 mm long
  • Rubber bands or clamps, and a clip or wick bar across the funnel

How to cast it

5

  1. Print both halves as exported. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports.

  2. Drop a tabbed wick into one half so the tab sits on the cavity floor, close the halves and band them along the whole seam.

  3. Clip the wick centred across the pour funnel and pour at 65 to 75 C.

  4. Once the first pour is firm but still warm, top up the funnel. Wax shrinks, and the second pour fills the dip.

  5. Cool fully, open the halves at the pry pockets and trim the wick. Pick out the rings with a little mica on a dry brush.

Questions about this design

Where does the wick go in the bell candle?

Up the middle and out through the crown knob, where the pour funnel sits. Drop a tabbed wick in so the tab rests on the cavity floor at the mouth, close the halves and clip the wick centred across the funnel.

Why does the bell candle need a second pour?

The bell is wide at the foot and narrow at the crown, and wax shrinks as it sets, so a dip forms at the top of the body under the knob. Top up the funnel once the first pour is firm but still warm, and the join disappears.

Can I pour the bell candle in beeswax?

Yes, and beeswax gives the rings a warm golden glow. Print the halves in PETG, since beeswax goes in at 70 to 75 C, and expect to top up twice: beeswax shrinks more than paraffin as it sets.
