Create this cute Dolphin Candle Holder directly with your 3D printer or use the included mold-making files to create a silicone production mold for repeat casting.
This bundle is designed for 3D printing enthusiasts, mold makers and casting artists.
You can print the original dolphin candle holder, create a silicone mold using the supplied mold-making system, and cast finished decorative pieces using compatible materials such as stone powder composites, resin, epoxy, plaster, concrete-based mixes or Jesmonite-type materials.

Important: If this package follows the same structure as your previous products, the original product model is STL + OBJ + 3MF, while the dedicated mold system files are STL.
TWO WAYS TO USE THE FILES
1 — PRINT THE ORIGINAL MODEL
Import the STL, OBJ or 3MF model into your preferred slicer.
The model can be used with common 3D printing workflows such as Bambu Studio, Cura, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer.
Print settings will vary depending on printer, nozzle, filament, layer height, supports, orientation and scale.
2 — CREATE A SILICONE MOLD
Print the supplied mold-making components.
Prepare and assemble the mold system, then use suitable mold-making silicone to create a reusable production mold.
The finished silicone mold may be used with compatible casting materials such as:
Stone powder composite
Casting resin
Epoxy
Plaster
Concrete-based casting materials
Jesmonite-type materials
Always verify material compatibility before full production.
SURFACE PREPARATION
FDM printed masters naturally contain layer lines.
For smoother silicone molds and cleaner cast pieces, sand the master where necessary, clean away all dust, and seal the printed surface using a fully cured coating compatible with your silicone system.
Always perform a small silicone compatibility test before pouring the final mold.
CANDLE / TEALIGHT SAFETY
The lifestyle images demonstrate how the finished design may look with a tealight.
For a directly filament-printed version, an LED tealight is the safer recommended option.
Standard PLA, PETG and similar printing filaments should not automatically be considered suitable for direct exposure to flame or candle heat.
If producing the item through a silicone mold, suitability for real candle use depends entirely on the heat and flame properties of your chosen casting material.
COMMERCIAL PHYSICAL PRODUCT LICENSE
You may create and sell physical finished products made from these files.
You may create silicone molds from the supplied mold-making files for your own physical production.
You may not resell, redistribute, share, upload or give away the digital files themselves. Modified versions of the digital files may not be resold either.
DIGITAL PRODUCT NOTICE
This listing contains DIGITAL FILES ONLY.
No physical dolphin candle holder, silicone mold, candle, printed object or casting material will be shipped.
The colored lifestyle images are presentation examples showing possible finished results.
Final appearance will vary depending on printing material, printer settings, scale, post-processing, casting material and painting technique.
Your files will be available to download once payment is confirmed.
We welcome wholesale inquiries for physical silicone molds from retailers, interior décor producers and creative studios. Minimum quantities, production times and pricing depend on the design. For digital products or extended commercial licensing, please contact us through Etsy before purchasing. Standard STL files may not be redistributed or resold.
Gift wrapping is available only for eligible physical silicone mold orders. Physical products are packaged carefully for international shipping. Digital STL products are delivered electronically and cannot be gift wrapped. If your order is a gift, please contact us through Etsy before purchasing to confirm availability.
Silicone Mold Care:
Wash the mold gently with lukewarm water and mild soap, then allow it to dry completely before storage. Do not use abrasive sponges, sharp tools or harsh chemicals. Store the mold flat or in its natural shape, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Use only casting materials and release agents that are compatible with the silicone. Avoid pulling on thin or highly detailed areas when demolding. Proper care helps extend the life of your mold.
We may be able to create custom mold sizes, original decorative designs or extended commercial licenses. Availability, price and production time depend on the project. Please message us through Etsy with the required dimensions, intended casting material and whether you need a physical silicone mold or a digital STL file before ordering.
