A pear candle 95 mm tall and 60 mm across: a full round bottom rising to a slim neck, a short stem the wick runs up through, and a leaf resting against the front of the neck.

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 down the sides of the pear, so the leaf sits in the front half, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

Fruit candles are a steady seller for kitchens, autumn tables and teacher gifts. Pour it in pear green, gold or a painted blush. The zip carries both halves, the pear master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

How this mold works

What you need

3
  • About 120 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 133 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 50 mm candle, about 120 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 stem.

Questions about this design

How do I colour the pear candle like a real pear?

Pour it in a soft green or yellow, then dry-brush a little red or brown mica on one side of the bottom for a blush, and a darker brown on the stem. Paint the leaf green with a fine brush.

Where does the wick come out of the pear?

Up the middle and out through the stem, where the pour funnel sits. The stem burns first, then the neck and the round bottom.

Does the pear go with the apple candle mold?

Yes, they are the same scale, so a pear, an apple and a lemon make a fruit bowl set for a kitchen or a market table.
