A tiered Christmas tree candle, 105 mm tall: four stacked tiers on a round trunk, with a star on top. A rigid two-part print.
A tiered Christmas tree candle 105 mm tall and 62 mm across: four stacked cone tiers with rounded skirts, getting smaller towards the top, on a sturdy round trunk, and a five-point star standing on top.
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 tree is round, so the seam through its middle releases every tier, and the star stands in the plane of the seam, so the tool's own seam check finds nothing stuck. No silicone needed.
A Christmas market staple: pour it in forest green, white or gold, and paint the star. Three in different colours make a table centrepiece. The zip carries both halves, the tree 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 just below the star. Paint the star gold if you like.

Just below the star, down the middle of every tier to the trunk. The star and the top tier burn first, then each tier in turn.
Yes, the trunk is 28 mm across and the whole tree is light. Set it on a small plate while it burns, which also catches drips from the tiers.
The Christmas tree candle mold is a textured cone cast in silicone; this one is four smooth stacked tiers and a star, cast straight in a printed rigid mold with no silicone.
