A column trio candle 98 mm wide: three fluted Greek columns fused in a row, 75, 105 and 90 mm tall, each 34 mm across with a stepped plinth at the foot and a stepped capital at the top. The classical, temple-ruin look in one piece, with a wick in every column.
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 tool puts one pour funnel on each column top, so the trio has three funnels and three wicks. The flutes fade out towards the sides where the mold splits and where the columns meet, so nothing hooks a rigid half, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.
Pour it in white or stone grey for the plaster look, or cream with a little gold mica rubbed into the flutes. For a single tall column with flutes all the way round, there is a silicone fluted column candle mold too. The zip carries both halves, the trio 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 halves pulled apart around the candle they cast, not a photo.
Print both halves as exported. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports.
Drop a tabbed wick into each column of one half so each tab sits on the cavity floor under its funnel, close the halves and band them along the whole seam.
Clip each wick centred across its own funnel. Pour at 65 to 75 C into the tallest column first: the columns join, so the wax levels out between them, then fill each funnel to the top.
Once the first pour is firm but still warm, top up all three funnels. Wax shrinks, and the second pour fills the dips.
Cool fully, open the halves at the pry pockets and trim the three wicks.

Light all three together for the first burn, for an hour or two, so each column gets a full melt pool and none tunnels. After that you can burn them together or one at a time. The tallest column burns longest, so the heights change as it goes.
Flutes that ran all the way round would hook a rigid half at the seam and where two columns meet. The design lets them fade out there, so the front and back halves pull straight off. A column with flutes all the way round needs silicone, like our single fluted column candle mold.
The fluted column is one 111 mm column with flutes all round, cast in a silicone mold from a printed shell. The trio is three columns of different heights in one candle, poured straight into a rigid two-part print with three funnels and three wicks, no silicone.
