molding and casting
I have done a one part mold for casting chocolate. The mold has a wood "insert", a thin stick that permits to do a lollypop.

The model has been done with Rhino 4.0 and exported as a STL file to mill it. I used the fabmodules, first with a 1/8 rough drill and after with a 1/32 finish mill because the definition of the letters. I had to reset the default parameters of the tool. I changed the diameter to 0.79 mm. (the 1/32 inches equivalence in mm.).
I had problems with the width of the mold, one of the walls stayed open and I had to close with a piece of methacrylate.

After casting the liquid silicone (mixing the two components) has waited a minimum of 24 hours. It has been demolded the silicone mold for casting liquid chocolate and it has waited until cooled down to take the lollipop. This is the result.
