◆ Candle wax
A 90 mm ripple pillar candle with eight soft horizontal waves. A rigid two-part print, no silicone.
A ripple pillar candle 90 mm tall and 58 mm across: eight soft horizontal waves from foot to top, with a rounded top edge.
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 pillar 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.
A calm, modern pillar that catches the light in bands. Pour it in cream, sand or sage. The zip carries both halves, the pillar 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.

It is a turned shape: every horizontal slice is a circle. A split through the middle lets each half pull straight off, waves and all, which is exactly what a rigid printed mold needs. The tool checks it before it builds the mold.
Band the halves evenly along the whole seam so it stays hair-thin, then rub it once with a nylon stocking or a warm cloth after the candle is out. The waves break the line up, so it is hard to spot anyway.
About 186 g of pillar wax per candle. Pour at 75 to 80 C and top up the funnel once as it sets, since the waves pull the wax in slightly as it shrinks.
