A faceted gem candle about 69 mm across and 64 mm tall, cut flat underneath so it stands on its own. Every face is flat, so the candle catches the light like a cut stone instead of reading as a plain ball.
The mold is exactly what our two-part candle mold generator builds for this shape: two rigid halves with alignment keys, rubber-band grooves, pry pockets and a pour funnel on top. The gem is convex and mirror-symmetric across the seam, which is why the site's own mold advisor rates a rigid mold a good fit for it, and why you need no silicone at all.
Drop a tabbed wick in before you close the halves, clip it centred across the funnel, and pour. The zip carries both halves, the gem master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file that puts every setting back on the generator.

What you need
- About 155 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 172 ml
- A tabbed, primed wick for a 70 mm candle
- Rubber bands or clamps, and a clip or wick bar across the funnel
How to cast it
- Print both halves as exported, standing with the funnel up. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports.
- 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.
- Clip the wick centred across the pour funnel and pour at 65 to 75 C.
- Once the first pour is firm but still warm, top up the funnel. Wax shrinks, and the second pour fills the dip.
- Cool fully, then open the halves at the pry pockets and trim the wick.
