Description
This is an ongoing project to use a 3D printer to design custom gummy candy. The first model is just a simple squash racquet silhouette, and the idea is to use a 3D printed item to create an impression in corn starch to use as a mold.
Instructions
Components needed:
Printed model to use for mold (mine or your own)
1 box (3oz) of classic Jello
2 packets (0.5 oz) of unflavored gelatine
1/3 cup of water
Baking tray filled with corn starch
Combine the Jello, gelatine, and cold water in a pot. Stir until incorporated, then heat until melted.
Press the printed item into the corn starch to create mold cavities, gently poor the gelatine mixture into the mold cavities and let the candy cool completely. Enjoy

Why not just make a mold using the scad model script dust each half of the mold in corn starch, and poor in the gummy and let cool?
That would work fine if you are making a single piece, but I was looking for a way to make an entire tray of candy at once with minimal printing time (the process from print to eating can be done in under an hour). Also, this stuff is really sticky, It may be tough to release it from a hard plastic mold, especially with leftover print lines.
