A tray of six maple leaf wax melts, each 41 mm tall and 37 mm across and 12 mm deep: five pointed lobes with little side teeth, a short stem, and the veins pressed into the face so they catch the light.

Made with our tray mold generator in its flexible silicone tray mode. You print one part, a caster: an open box whose walls follow the six leaves, with a raised leaf standing in each spot. Pour silicone into it, let it cure, peel it out, and that silicone is a bendy six-cavity tray you fill with wax again and again.

An autumn melt for a harvest-spice or apple fragrance, poured in burnt orange, red and gold. The zip carries the printed caster exactly as the tool exported it, one leaf on its own as an STL, the master that was uploaded to the tool, and a print and pour sheet with the silicone figure the tool measured.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed caster with three melts in front, not a photo.

What you need

3
  • About 154 ml of silicone for the tray (mix it in one batch)
  • Soy or paraffin wax melt blend and fragrance oil, about 7 ml per leaf
  • A heat-proof jug for pouring

How to cast it

5

  1. Print the caster as exported, open side up. It is one part, so there are no seams to seal. No supports.

  2. Set it on a level surface. Mix 154 ml of silicone in one batch and pour it into one corner in a thin stream, letting it flow round the raised shapes until it is level with the rim.

  3. Tap the caster on the table for a minute to bring the bubbles up, then let the silicone cure for as long as its datasheet says.

  4. Peel the cured silicone out of the caster. That silicone is your tray, and the caster is ready for another one.

  5. Fill each cavity, let it set, then flex the tray and peel it back to pop the pieces out.

Questions about this design

Do the points of the maple leaf wax melts break off?

Not if they cool in the tray. Let the melts set fully, put the tray in the fridge for ten minutes, then flex the silicone and push each leaf out from the back rather than pulling it by a lobe. A melt wax with a little coconut in it is less brittle.

Which scents suit maple leaf wax melts?

Autumn ones: pumpkin spice, apple and cinnamon, maple syrup, woodsmoke or sandalwood. Colour each batch in an autumn shade, burnt orange, red and mustard, and a mixed bag of leaves sells well at a harvest market.

How much wax does the maple leaf tray take?

Each leaf holds about 7 ml, so a full tray of six is a little over a cup of melted wax. Pour to just below the rim so the backs come out flat and the melts sit level in a warmer.
