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

A Christmas and New Year shape that also works for kids' rooms and celebrations. Pour it in gold, white or midnight blue with a shimmer. The zip carries both halves, the star 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.

What you need

3
  • About 52 g of pillar wax: the cavity holds 58 ml
  • A tabbed, primed wick for a 30 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 at the top point.

Questions about this design

Does the puffy star stand up by itself?

Yes. Its two lower points are cut flat into feet about 50 mm apart, so it stands like a star on a tree top. Set it on a dish while it burns.

Where does the wick go in the star candle?

Down from the top point, where the pour funnel sits, to the middle of the star. The top arm burns first; the side arms stay as a glowing outline.

Can I make a set of small stars with this mold?

Open the star STL from the zip in the free two-part candle mold generator, scale it down to 50 or 60 mm, and download a new mold in a minute. Three sizes make a nice set.
