Parametric Tardis Chocolate Mold

thingiverse

The design is primarily inspired by Gossamer's parametric Tardis doors. I made some adjustments such as beveling the doors to ease mold release, and fine-tuning parameters for improved parametricity. Next, I subtracted a block and added skewer holes for alignment, percussion tabs for mold release, and slots to hold string, zip-ties, or rubber bands for keeping the mold together during pouring. This method is untested, so please share your results. The STL filenames contain the 'H' parameter (door height) and the overall width of the STL. To use this mold, print the two halves either combined or separately. Apply a release agent like butter to line the mold halves. Join the halves using skewers for alignment and rubber bands or string for stability. Heat chocolate to 28-32°C (do not exceed 33.8°C to avoid re-tempering). Pour the chocolate, let it cool, separate the halves gently (use percussion if needed), and enjoy your finished chocolate!
