<p>Can handle for melting and pouring wax while making candles. It may have other uses. Let me know about them in the comments.</p><p>Designed for 330ml Sleek Can (diameter 58mm, height 146mm).</p><h5>Print instructions:</h5><p>Print in PETG (or other material which can withstand some temperature). Wax/paraffin melts at 46-68 °C. Top of the can should not get that hot, but it's better to be safe and avoid using PLA.</p><h5>Build instructions:</h5><ol><li>Cut off top of the can with a knife. Trim the edge with scissors.</li><li>Put handle on the can and fix it in place with a small 3mm flat head screw (length 10-25mm).</li><li>Turn can upside down. Put into bottom two big washers as weights and pour them with epoxy glue (see photos).</li></ol><p>Can is light and hollow bottom traps an air under water. It will float which is unwanted. That's why you have to fill in the hollow bottom and add some weight there.</p><h5>Usage:</h5><p>Place a can with a wax into warm water bath. Water around can should not boil. Temperature about 70 °C should be enough to melt a wax.</p><p>Check out <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/112032-biomech/collections/104172">Making Candles</a> collection for candle molds and other related prints.</p><h5>Extra cans holder for cooking pan:</h5><p>In files is holder for avoiding tipping over cans in cooking pan. It's designed for up to 7 cans.</p><p>Print it in PETG (or other material which can withstand some temperature).</p><p>Insert wood sticks 12mm in diameter and 7cm long as legs. They will contact the bottom of the pan, which can get hotter, that's why I have chosen wood over plastic.</p>
