Introduction: 3Dprint Custom Candle
Probably the easiest way to manufacture the 3Dprinting customized candle
Step 1: Find a STL File
Thanks to Thingiverse, we can upload and download the pretty model for free in the Webpage.
Download my OriginalMold (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:459729) and we get a Moai statue model as examples.
Step 2: Tinker It (1)
Open TinkerCAD (https://www.tinkercad.com/)
Click "creat new design"
Step 3: Choose File and Import Them
we should import OriginalMold twice or copy&paste it on workplane
Step 4: Tinker It(2)
Move moai statue and paraboloid to the center of mold, then click Hole button
Delete right mold and “Group” rest
We obtained a Moai mold
Step 5: Tinker It (3)
Click Download for 3Dprinting, choose ".stl".
Step 6: Slice
Open moai mold in CURA to get Gcode
Step 7: Print It
3Dprinted moai mold(our 3Dprinter WolfWorkshttp://www.reprap.org/wiki/WolfWorks)
Step 8: Play Time
material:modelling clay
Step 9: Don't Forget Candle
don't forget our ultimate aim is make a moai candle
Step 10: Melt Candle
