Open Multi-Mold Generator A versatile mold generator designed for multiple side-by-side open molds with either positive or negative inset features. It creates an object with multiple molds in a grid enclosed by walls and a customizable separator between them. Two example models showcasing the possibilities of this generator are included in the files section, highlighting its adaptability to various applications. Key features include: Load a custom STL model for precise mold design Switch between negative or positive molds effortlessly with a single flag adjustment Configure mold dimensions and wall/base thickness for optimal results Freely choose the number of side-by-side molds in the final object, allowing for maximum customization Select from full walls, a small separator, or no separation at all between sub-molds Optionally, fully customize the separator shape between sub-molds to suit specific needs This generator doubles as a conventional mold generator by setting the number of molds to 1x1. Users have successfully employed this tool for creating soap that is later cut into separate parts. Another potential application is using it for chocolate bars, although this idea remains untested.
