A bubble pillar candle 82 mm tall and 46 mm across: five rings of six round bubbles, each ring turned half a step on the one below so they nest like a honeycomb, and a single bubble on top where the wick comes out.

Made with the hugging-shell mode of our silicone mold maker: print the base with the pillar fused onto it and the two shell halves, pour about 225 ml of silicone, and the flexible mold that comes out peels off every bubble. A round core fills the middle, so the pillar casts solid.

A round alternative to the bubble tower, and it fits a standard pillar plate. Pour it in cream, terracotta or sage. The zip carries every printed part, the pillar master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed mold parts pulled apart around the master, not a photo.

What you need

4
  • About 251 ml of silicone (mix it in one batch)
  • About 98 g of pillar wax per candle: each cast is 109 ml
  • Steel binder clips, tape or a hot glue gun
  • A primed wick for a 45 mm pillar, about 110 mm long

How to cast it

6

  1. Print the base, which has the master already fused onto it, and the two shell halves. No supports.

  2. Stand the shell halves on the base around the master and hold the seams shut with steel binder clips. The seats for them are built into the shell.

  3. Tape the outside seams or run a bead of hot glue along them, because silicone finds every gap.

  4. Mix 251 ml of silicone in one batch, pour it into the open top in a thin stream, and fill level with the rim.

  5. Once it has cured, unclip the shell, lift it off and peel the silicone off the master. That silicone is your mold.

  6. Set the silicone back in the shell to keep its shape, and cast into it through the opening the base left.

Questions about this design

Where does the wick go in the bubble pillar candle?

Straight down the middle, from the top bubble to the foot, through the solid core. Pierce the silicone at the top of the top bubble with a wick needle before you pour.

Does the bubble pillar fit a normal candle plate?

Yes. It is 46 mm across at its widest, so it sits on any pillar plate or holder made for 50 mm pillars.

How much wax does one bubble pillar candle take?

About 98 g of pillar wax per candle, from a mold made once from about 251 ml of silicone.
