Description
The first of a series of molds to be made with a makerbot to make chocolate polyhedra. Modified to lay down so there are no overhangs during build. Makes an Icosahedron 3 cm from corner to corner.
Instructions
Make five of these. The upper central edge running along the axis should be sanded slightly, enough to fit the syringe full of chocolate. Updated with a small square hole that can be used to fit a 3mm rare earth magnet set in with a bit of cut surgical tube (technique developed by Jeff Rutzky).

Nice job. However,hollow molding might be easier:
assemble the mould apart from 1:
add a spoonful of chocolate
close the mould
shake
cool.

I see from the one Bre made that it should be modified slightly to lay on the vertical back for the build to avoid the overhang completly. I'll make another backwards compatible version that is hollow soon.
I did make a two part hollow version as well. The reason I made this five part mold was because the seams would be symmetrical along the edges with no seam cutting through a face.
