beehive candle

I had some beeswax and wanted to make a candle with an old fashioned beehive shape. I designed it in openscad, so it should be possible to change dimensions, but I have some bug in my script that is causing me some difficulty. For me, I had enough wax for a candle about 4 inches tall, so I tweaked things until it worked at that size and called it good. I figured the shape would be easier to remove from the mold if there were 3 parts to the mold, so that is how I designed it.

Notes:

It should be a very easy print. No weird overhangs, no supports, rafts, or brims needed.

Post-Printing

So print 3 copies, tape/rubber band them together, put in the wick, oil everything or use some other mold release compound, use proper wax melting/candle making technique so you don't burn down your house, and make yourself a candle. I have had good luck with PLA, but you should be able to use most any material. If it isn't obvious, the bottom of the candle will be at the top of the mold when you pour the wax in.
