Silicone Mold — Complete Guide

Quick answer

The KingsCutter silicone mold is generated with a cavity shaped like your design and 2 mm thick walls. Ideal for chocolate, soap, epoxy resin, and candles. The silicone poured into the printed mold reproduces every detail of the design. Includes an optional pouring spout to make filling easier.

1

Design your mold in the Designer

Upload your image to kingscutter.com/app and select Silicone Mold. Recommended parameters: Cavity depth 10mm, Wall thickness 2.0mm, Size 5-15cm, Pouring spout enabled.

2

Print the mold

The printed mold works as a rigid shell where you'll pour the liquid silicone. Set up your printer: PETG, 0.2mm layer, 4 walls, 25% infill.

3

Prepare the silicone

Mix parts A and B according to the manufacturer's instructions. Stir slowly to avoid bubbles. Pour the silicone into the printed mold in a thin stream. If you can, use a vacuum chamber to degas.

4

Curing and demolding

Typical curing time: 12-24 hours at room temperature. Don't demold too early. Demold carefully by separating the printed shell. Wash the silicone mold with water and mild soap.

Frequently asked questions

What type of silicone do I use to make the mold?
Use two-component silicone (platinum or tin). Platinum is more expensive but doesn't shrink and is food-safe. Tin is more affordable for non-food projects. Both are available at mold supply stores.
Can I use the mold for chocolate?
Yes, platinum silicone is suitable for chocolate. Make sure the printed mold is PETG (withstands up to 80°C) and use food-grade silicone.
How many uses does a silicone mold have?
A quality silicone mold can be used hundreds of times. With proper care (gentle washing, avoiding cuts), it lasts for years.
Do I need a release agent?
Silicone doesn't stick to most materials, but a release spray helps with very fine details or shapes with undercuts.
