Use these molds to make perfect snow cones!    Print re-usable cone cups!    Use the decorating stand to hold the cone while you flavor your masterpiece!

Three mold choices for your top: classic round, heart, or a star.

If you'd rather use disposable paper cups, the cone mold is compatible with Sno-Kone brand cups:  http://a.co/d/blCF3cb

Resolution:                      

0.2mm

Notes:

I used food safe clear PETG for the molds and the cups.

Cone Cups Printing: Print the rim with 3 perimeters for 0 -to 1mm; then use VASE mode for 1mm to 112.5mm, then finish the last 1mm in normal mode 3 perimeters.   To make sure that the cup does not leak, set the extrusion multiplier to 120% for vase mode, and for the last 1mm.  I slowed down the print speed of the vase mode to 60% to help improve the transparency of the cup.

Molds and decorating stand (base):  25% infill, 2 perimeters.

I used PLA for the decorating stand.

Tips

Using the Molds

Fill top and bottom molds to overflowing with finely shaved ice.   Squeeze the molds together.
While holding the molds together, hit the ends of the molds onto a firm surface to force the ice into shape.

Syrup

Use 1 part water to 2 parts white sugar (measured by volume).   Heat the mixture until the syrup is clear.

Use super concentrated flavorings.  I used LorAnn flavors in the dram packaging.  Link: http://a.co/d/gAUgev0  It only takes one or two droppers (less than 1 ml) to flavor 240 ml of syrup.

I added food coloring as desired.
