Fridays For Future Chocolate Mold

thingiverse

Friday For Future is a global movement started by Greta Thunberg and a couple of other climate activists in which youth around the world strike school on Fridays to protest for climate justice.

After reading a ton of online forums about how even food safe PLA and PETG could still have toxic elements, I found a tutorial on Adafruit which used a food-safe silicone putty. I ordered it and it worked great, catching all of the detail perfectly! I have also included both halves of the mold in case you want to 3D print it directly. However, what I did was print the positive of the chocolate and make the mold out of silicone, described below. Another bonus with this method is that you can continue using the positive as a coaster! Here is the link for the Adafruit tutorial: https://learn.adafruit.com/3d-printed-chocolate-castings/overview
