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 handle stands in the plane of the seam, so its hole runs straight through the way the mold opens, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

A cosy café candle for coffee, hot cocoa or pumpkin spice scents. Pour the mug in a latte brown and the cream in white, or pour it all in one colour and paint the cream. The zip carries both halves, the mug master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

What you need

3
  • About 165 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 183 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 55 mm pillar, about 100 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 just above the cream.

Questions about this design

Is the coffee mug candle a real container?

No, it is a solid candle shaped like a mug with cream on top. The wick runs down through the cream into the mug, and it burns like a pillar.

Which scents suit the coffee mug candle?

Coffee, vanilla latte, hot cocoa, caramel or pumpkin spice. Keep the fragrance load to what your wax supplier gives, usually 6 to 10%.

Can I make the cream a different colour from the mug?

Yes: paint it after casting. The cream starts right at the rim, so a brush run round the rim line gives a clean edge between the two colours.
