3D model description

Hey guys,
I have recently gotten myself into the art of making candles and I was looking around for a mould with the shape of a bee hive.
I love bees and their beehives so I made this candle mould with this shape.

Wax:
This mould has been tested with paraffin wax and Soy Way.
I made 2 moulds one in PLA and ABS. The ABS one gave me better results as it can withstand higher temperatures. Having said that, the PLA did well with the Soy wax, However, when the wax was poured into the PLA mould I waited until it had a thick consistency and this helped as the temperature was lower and the PLA mould did not warp.

It was a joy making this mould as it is different from what I have seen around.
The burning time is ~ 1 hour

I hope you make loads of candles too.
