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 round the edge of the heart, so each rounded face is one half, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

Hearts are the best-selling gift shape for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and weddings. Pour it in red, blush or white, or in two layers. The zip carries both halves, the heart master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

What you need

3
  • About 103 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 114 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 40 mm candle, about 80 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 in the dip between the two lobes.

Questions about this design

Does the puffy heart candle stand up by itself?

Yes. The point is cut flat into a foot about 30 by 24 mm, so it stands steadily on a level table. Set it on a small dish while it burns.

Where does the wick go in the puffy heart?

Down from the dip between the two lobes at the top to the foot, where the pour funnel sits. Drop a tabbed wick in before closing the halves and clip it across the funnel.

Can I pour the puffy heart candle in two colours?

Yes. Pour the first colour to about a third, let it skin over, then fill with the second. An ombre from red at the bottom to blush at the top looks especially good on a heart.
