Customizable Silicone Mold Container

Model Overview & Print Notes

Customizable split-cylinder mold container — designed for casting silicone parts. This model is fully parametric in OpenSCAD and allows you to generate different mold sizes by adjusting a few simple parameters. The design prints as two identical halves ; rotate one 180° and they align using a pin & slot system for repeatable positioning. This project is meant as a generic reusable mold shell that makers can adapt to their own parts, figurines, or prototypes. 🧩 Features Half-cylinder mold body Prints two identical parts — assemble by rotating one 180° Alignment system with male / female cylindrical pins Exterior flanges for clamping or rubber bands Optional interior base (flat bottom) Bottom outer lip for better grip and handling Interior watermark is only visible when a base is enabled All geometry is generated procedurally — no meshes, no sculpting, clean Booleans.   ⚙️ Customizable Parameters (OpenSCAD) The following parameters can be adjusted in the Customizer: Inner diameter — internal mold cavity diameter Inner height — usable cavity height Wall thickness — lateral wall thickness Base thickness — set to 0 to remove the base (reccomended) The mold interior stays unchanged regardless of flange or lip size. If base_thickness = 0, the mold is open at the bottom and the watermark is not generated. 🖨️ Printing Recommendations Print two copies of the same part Rotate one 180° and assemble together Use PLA / PETG / ABS — all work well 0.2 mm layer height recommended 2–3 perimeters are usually enough Supports are not required Alignment pins are vertical and slicer-friendly. Rubber bands, clamps, or screws can be used depending on your workflow. 🧪 Usage Notes This shell is intended as the outer container for silicone casting . You can place your master model inside and pour silicone to create the negative mold. Because the model is parametric, it can be adapted for: electronics enclosures figurines & miniatures product prototyping workshop tooling DIY casting experiments 💬 Maker Notes This design is intentionally simple and functional — more of a tool than a finished mold. Feel free to remix, extend, or adapt it for your project (magnets, screw latches, registration keys, vents…). Feedback & remixes are very welcome 🙂
