    Not sure if anyone still following this topic but, i started braking down what is inside “chocholate” glaze. What can i use in a candle are coconut oil, hydrogenated palm oil(wax?), cocoa butter. My theory is that sugar and cocoa powder act as some kind of mass that unify everything into always more paste-like consistency when melted. But i cant use them in a candle, so what if i replace sugar with pine sap, and flour or something else instead of cocoa powder? Still rough but getting there, soon i hope to get to more complex shapes and scenarios. Wicking and filling are going to be next parts. Cant wait until i can start playing with colors and essences :3 My first successful 3D printed Candle 03.2.2022

    Not sure what you mean, but no, i like designing candles. This was my school project and i am still in development. Now that technology has caught up i have had some progress.

    My wax is in a temperature controlled tank, melts and flows down a pipe, cools and becomes creamy while gears push it out of a 1mm nozzle. Today I tried palm, soy, bee, olive, rapeseed, paraffin wax and coconut, rapeseed oil + gel(mineral oil, paraffin) mixture (everything i got :D). It gave me very chunky results, but it did kind of work and is pretty solid. Although i have to figure out what is causing these junks because it clogs the flow.

    Whipped is not an option.

    Nono, i want to squeeze the wax through a nozzle, wax should harden and i should be able to squeeze another layer on top so it would stay in shape and harden also. On the picture you can see the flow i need from the nozzle, and right after it is squeezed it should harden so i can add another layer on top and it would harden also, and so on,

    Indeed

    Im trying to squeeze it through a nozzle, and best would be if it would behave like melted chocolate, one would say exactly like chocolate ideally the same consistency.

    I am trying right now with coconut oil, and i will go more liquid soon after if this does not work.

    Im still looking for candle wax that would be more malleable like melted chocolate when heated. Freeman wax i brought as an example. I cant use it cause it does not burn.

    Yes, closest i can think that is not burnable is freeman purple wax.

    I understand that if I add oil it will make it into a paste, indefinitely. Or when it cools does it harden enough to to stay in structural shape?

    Hello. My problem is that all waxes have two states, solid or liquid. I am trying to achieve a melted chocolate consistency while melting wax blend in a temperature controlled heater. And it has to be solid (enough) after cooling. Bonus points if it still can be burned after. Before I go crazy with trying everything in the house like flour, starch, etc. maybe any of you have expertise on giving waxes these properties, let me know. Lugupidamisega Reigo
