Candle wax ~155 g

A puffy snowflake candle 91 mm across, 71 mm tall and 18 mm thick: six round arms, each with two pairs of side branches, swelling into a hexagonal middle, pillowed front and back like a soft toy, standing on flat feet cut into its two lower arms.

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 snowflake's outline, so each pillowed face is one half, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.

A winter shape that stays up from the first frost to February, not only at Christmas. Pour it in white, ice blue or silver, and set three in a row on a mantel. The zip carries both halves, the snowflake master as its own STL, the tool's own print-settings sheet and a recipe file for the generator.

Shown as a 3D render of the printed mold halves pulled apart around the candle they cast, not a photo.

How this mold works

What you need

3
  • About 38 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 42 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a small 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. PETG takes hot wax best.

  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 at the top of the snowflake.

Questions about this design

Does the puffy snowflake candle stand up by itself?

Yes. Its two lower arms are cut flat into feet about 35 mm apart, so it stands upright like the puffy star. It is 18 mm thick, so set it on a small dish or a tray of salt while it burns.

Where does the wick go in the snowflake candle?

Down from the pour funnel at the top into the hexagonal middle, where the snowflake is thickest. The arms burn down slowly around it. Short burns of an hour keep the branches from melting through, or keep it as an unlit decoration.

How do I make the snowflake candle sparkle?

Once it is cool, brush a little iridescent mica or fine glitter wax over the arms, or dip the whole candle quickly in a clear overdip wax at about 80 C. The puffy arms catch the light along their round edges.
