Print it perfectly

Get a flawless mould

Research-backed settings we bake in — and how to print it if you're doing it yourself.

01 · LAYERS

Go fine for smooth walls

Print at 0.12–0.16mm layer height. Smaller layers = smoother mould interior = a better casting finish with fewer lines to sand.

02 · MATERIAL

Match plastic to your pour

PLA for cold pours (soap, plaster, concrete, cold resin). PETG for hot candle wax (70–80°C) or warm resin. Food → print a master & cast food-grade silicone.

03 · WALLS & DRAFT

Strong & releasable

Walls ≥2mm so heat/exotherm can't warp them, and 3–5° draft on every vertical face so the casting slides out. Both built into this tool.

04 · RELEASE

Use a release agent

A light mould-release spray or wax (or a silicone master for detail) means clean pops every time and a longer mould life.

Silicone casting

Making a silicone mould from a master

The pro route for fine detail & food-safe casting: print your object as a Positive Master (toggle above), then cast a flexible silicone mould around it. Here's how to do it cleanly.

01 · THE MOULD

Master → flexible mould

Print your shape as a Positive Master, hot-glue it to a base, build a small box around it (LEGO or foam board), then pour silicone over it. Once cured, peel the silicone off — a reusable mould with perfect detail.

02 · BUBBLES

Vacuum vs pressure — do you need it?

Not essential, but for flawless results: a vacuum chamber degasses the liquid silicone before you pour (removes air so the mould surface is perfect). A pressure pot is used after pouring your casting (resin) to crush any bubbles invisibly. The "air pump" is the vacuum pump that feeds the chamber — it's for degassing, not for pulling parts out.

03 · GETTING IT IN

Pour thin, pour high

Mix silicone by weight (per its ratio, e.g. 10:1). Pour a thin stream from up high into one corner and let it flood across the master — the stretching stream pops bubbles on the way down. Never dump it in.

04 · GETTING IT OUT

Flex, don't yank

Let it fully cure, then flex & peel the silicone back off the casting — that flexibility is why silicone beats rigid moulds for detail & undercuts. For food (chocolate, ice) use platinum food-grade silicone. A light release spray extends mould life.
