A lemon candle 100 mm long, 54 mm wide and 49 mm tall: lying on its side, pointed at both ends with a little nub on each, with a fine dimpled peel all over and a flat underneath so it does not roll.

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 seam runs along the length of the lemon, so each side is one half, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

A bright candle for kitchens, summer tables and citrus-scented sets. Pour it in lemon yellow with a lemon or verbena fragrance. The zip carries both halves, the lemon master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

What you need

3
  • About 119 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 132 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 45 mm candle, about 70 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.

Questions about this design

Where does the wick go in the lemon candle?

Straight down through the middle of the top, where the pour funnel sits, to the flat underneath. The lemon is low and long, so it burns a wide, shallow pool.

Which fragrance suits the lemon candle?

Lemon, lemongrass, verbena or a lemon and basil blend. Keep the fragrance load to what your wax supplier gives, usually 6 to 10%, or it sweats out of the peel texture.

How much wax does the lemon candle take?

About 119 g of pillar wax, 132 ml per candle. Pour at 75 to 80 C so the peel texture fills crisply, and let it cool slowly so the long lemon does not crack along the seam.
