New 3D angel bath bomb mold boosts seasonal design options

Designer mold2molds published a 3D STL titled "3D Angel Bath Bomb STL Mold" on January 11, 2026, adding a notable option for makers who use desktop 3D printing to produce custom molds. The file is sized X 112 × Y 83.7 × Z 50 mm and is built as a one-piece open-face design intended for packing bath-bomb mixture directly into the cavity.

The listing includes the usual metadata such as views and downloads and gives basic printing and usage guidance. In particular, the designer notes that the model requires no supports when printed in the recommended orientation, a helpful detail for users trying to minimize print time and post-processing. Those dimensions and the open-face approach mean the mold offers a larger decorative surface area and defined facial detail compared with many small sphere or simple-shape molds.

Why this matters: themed, decorative molds are a fast way to refresh seasonal, gift, and boutique product lines without investing in injection molds or custom silicone tooling. For makers testing themed runs — holiday collections, gift bundles, or limited-edition scents — a 3D-printed angel mold is a low-cost route to consistent, repeatable visual designs. The larger face and open cavity also make layering colors, embedding mica highlights, or pressing in small inclusions easier than with fully enclosed half-sphere molds.

Practical takeaways for makers: confirm your printer’s build volume accommodates the X 112 × Y 83.7 × Z 50 mm footprint and slice the model in the designer’s recommended orientation to avoid supports. Test a single cast to evaluate packing density, drying time, and release before committing to a run. Because the mold is one piece and open-face, plan for seam finishing and consider a quick silicone or food-safe coating if you plan to make multiple batches or sell finished bombs.

This release is typical of a growing trend: desktop STL mold files that let small-scale producers iterate designs rapidly and keep per-unit costs low. The listing’s availability of print notes and clear dimensions makes it an easy add to a maker’s workflow, from prototype to holiday-ready SKU.

The takeaway? If you’re looking to add a distinctive, gift-ready shape without breaking the bank, download and test the angel mold, adjust your packing and release routine, and use the extra surface area to show off colorwork and texture. Our two cents? Start with one test batch and treat the first run as your lab — tweak packing, scent load, and finish before you label it holy grail.
