Ice Lantern Mold (Collection of 15)

thingiverse

Here's a collection of 15 unique ice lantern molds, each with its own distinct design. Creating one is incredibly easy: 1. Simply print the design you've chosen and fill it with cold water. 2. Let the mixture freeze until an ice shell forms - either outside or in the freezer works perfectly. 3. Remove the finished lantern from the mold. 4. Insert a candle and bask in the warm, glowing light. Before you start, take note of a few key points: Using vase mode and a larger nozzle or extrusion width (0.8mm and up) is recommended to achieve a water-tight mold with decent print times - just be sure to scale it down slightly if needed. Don't freeze the mixture completely solid, as this risks breaking the mold due to excessive ice expansion. Hot water can be used to heat the mold and help separate the lanterns more easily.
