A puffy star candle 82 mm across, 74 mm tall and 34 mm thick: a five-point star pillowed on both faces, with a soft ridge down each arm, standing on flat feet cut into its two lower points.
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.
Print both halves as exported. Clamp-strength settings: 4 walls, 40% gyroid infill, no supports.
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.
Clip the wick centred across the pour funnel and pour at 65 to 75 C.
Once the first pour is firm but still warm, top up the funnel. Wax shrinks, and the second pour fills the dip.
Cool fully, open the halves at the pry pockets and trim the wick at the top point.

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.
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.
