Description

Parametric Mould Template generator. Enter the internal dimensions of your mould and this parametric model will generate a reusable template.
Then, just add any model file to the ‘base’ part of the mould using your slicer and print it. You can then cast a silicone mould of anything you want!

Since the model contains all parts in a single STEP file, you will have to ‘break into objects’ each piece before orienting.

Print with the orientation shown in the screenshot.

 

Cast your mould, then once it is set just pull the 4 pins and the mould comes apart easily, ready to be reused.

Some vaseline along the seam can sometimes help with sealing. It won't be 100% water tight without but still works pretty well.

 

Happy to generate custom dimensions if you don't have access to F3D

My friend actually just asked me if I could make her a 9x9x4 square housing for her mold making and this looks perfect. Can it be scaled to the sizing she is asking for?

assuming you are asking about 9cmx9xmx4cm. yeah it’ll scale to whatever you can print. don’t see why it wouldn’t work at these sizes - I’ve done one that covered the whole print bed before. I can generate you one tomorrow if you’d like

Replying to @Jdreadful :
Not a problem. I've generated a 9x9x4 inch one and added to the files in the list
