A 70 mm ringed orb candle with seven soft horizontal rings, like a paper lantern. A rigid two-part print, no silicone.
A ringed orb candle 70 mm across and 63 mm tall: a ball with seven soft horizontal rings, like a paper lantern, on a flat foot.
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 orb is round, so a seam through its middle releases it cleanly, and the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. You pour straight into the print, no silicone needed.
The rings give a plain sphere candle a crafted, lantern look. Pour it in honey, cream or white. The zip carries both halves, the orb 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.

The ringed orb's rings run round it horizontally, so every horizontal slice is still a circle and each half pulls straight off. The ribbed sphere's ribs run top to bottom, and their sides lock a rigid half.
Band the halves evenly so the seam stays hair-thin, then rub it once with a nylon stocking or a warm cloth after the candle is out. The rings break the line up.
About 146 g of pillar wax per candle. Pour at 75 to 80 C and top up the funnel once as it sets.
