【3D Printing Lab】DIY 3D Handmade Candles

The advancement of 3D printers; the versatility of 3D materials; what fields can 3D printing actually be applied to??
Today, we'll teach everyone how to use these innovative technologies in our daily lives!
We're going to DIY handmade essential oil candles!

Does everyone remember that 3DMART used Polymaker's new product, PolySmooth™
to create a large Spider-Man bust?

If you've forgotten, click on the Spider-Man head to refresh your memory!  



(Get your pen and paper ready to take notes✎✎✎)


(1) Prepare about 3kg of silicone                                 (2) Enclose the model with corrugated plastic board                                 (3) Slowly pour the silicone into the mold while adding hardener

The silicone will harden in about a day.
Carefully cut it open from both sides with a knife.    
Remove the Spider-Man head from inside.
Now, let's start DIYing the candle!!

(4) Heat beeswax in a double boiler                                                     (5) Then add your favorite wax flakes

(6) Don't be lazy while heating! Stir evenly until the wax is completely melted.

(7) After the wax is fully liquid, cool to around 73 degrees.                         (8) Choose your favorite essential oil~~~                          (9) We used citronella essential oil and stirred it evenly with the wax.

(10) Insert an iron rod into the center of the mold (to reserve space for the wick)                (11) Slowly pour the wax into the mold                             (12) After pouring the wax, use a popsicle stick to secure the iron rod's position.



Remember not to waste the remaining bit of wax by pouring it into the trash!
You can collect the wax each time to create layered candles!



(13) Quickly! The wax will solidify in about one day.             (14) Gently and slowly remove the iron rod.


(15) Next, carefully remove the finished product.



Ta-da! A Spider-Man head candle is complete!


Finally,

(16) Choose a wick you like                                  (17) Slowly insert the wick into the reserved hole.                      (18) Leave an appropriate length of wick, and you're done!

DIY candles yourself, paired with a beautiful view, is truly enjoyable.
