Taco Molds is now offering STL files that you can 3D print yourself! Print your own mold housing at home and save money! You can use it to make a silicon mould and cast your own art to sell. You can make two-part molds to cast custom dice of any shape and size. The durable, reusable plastic mold box is easy to use, making it the perfect tool for resin/epoxy enthusiasts and DIYers. Do you need a custom height or diameter, I do custom mold housing! Send me a message!

--DIGITAL STL FILES ONLY--This is a digital file, you will not receive a physical product.

You will need to make 2 prints of a size to make one complete mold housing frame. The walls can be held together with binder clips. For larger molds I strongly suggest using hot glue.

SIZES:
- Inner Diameter: [Inches: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ][ Milimeters: 51, 76, 102, 127, 152, 178]
- Heights: [ Inches: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ][ Milimeters: 25, 51, 76, 102, 127, 152, 178, ]
- Vertical Walls are min of 0.2in [5mm] thick
- Base is 1in [25mm] wide by 0.2in [5mm] thick
- You will receive 42 files

I have included a pdf file that explains how to cut the model to change the height.

SUGGESTED PRINTER SETTINGS:
- Layer Height: 0.2mm
- Top/Bottom Layers: 4
- Perimeters: 3 or 4
- Seam: Nearest
- Infill: 15%-20% Gyroid or Grid Pattern
- No Supports
- Temperature settings are dependent on filament and printer

WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE:
After payment is complete you will receive a zipped folder with the STL files. You will need to unzip the folder to access the files. STL files are a mesh representation of a 3D object and can be created in many different CAD programs. STL files can be opened in software such as PrusaSlicer or Cura to prepare them for printing.

MOLD MAKING TIPS:
I use Oramask 813 Stencil Film to as a sticky base. This prevents the object you are molding from floating up. It sticks really well and does not leave residue when you remove it. Remove any dirt or oil from the object before you place it, to ensure it sticks. You can buy it on amazon here: amzn.to/3q8p1fh. If this technique fails, get out the hot glue! For the bottom part, you can use many materials, such as clear shipping tape, laminate sheets, double sided tape, etc. I strongly suggest using HOT GLUE around the base for bigger molds.
