So i thought it would be a cool idea to design a heart mold. And with valentine getting close, I made it a heart mold.</p> <p>Mind your tention ! Before you poor in wax you need to clamp the two peices tougether, with a C clamp or something. If you overtighten it, you will make it bend. (Print it with higher infill / bottom layers if this is a problem) You should also use some metal plates to destribute the force on them (of the C clamp).</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>K8200</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>Yes</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.3</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>40%</p> <h3> <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>I would print it laying on it's back with support for the little funnel on top.</p></div> How I Designed This</h3> <p>V1.2 Notes.</p> <p>Someone pointed out, it might be a good idea to add a hole for the wick. After watching a candle making tutorial (i never made a candle myself), I came up with these changes.</p> </li> <li><p>Feet added so you can use a rubber peice and a washer around the wick.</p> </li> <li>Hole added for the wick.</li> <li>New fillet edges</li> <li><p>Part 1 whole diameter increased with 0.25mm, too insure the other half fitting without much sanding V1.3 notes</p> <p>Changed small pegs to stronger ones</p> </li> </ul> </p></p> Category: DIY
