====Intro====
molds for sugar need to be 
  *safe for consumption (even if not directly wallowed) 
  *hold at temperature of +160c 
    *sugar base goes up to [[https://idiot.io/wp-content/uploads/Electrodible/CandyMakers-1024x724.png|146C]] but better safe

when making multiple impressions in a single mold, [[https://idiot.io/projects/corn-starch-molds/|silicon+cornstarch]] method falls short.

watchout for 
  * [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity|Viscosity]] - higher numbers mean running slower
    *[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity|{{:viscosities.gif}}]]
  * shelf life - always look at datasheet 
    * 20 month sometimes less. the smoothOn was opened and was all stiff 
    * the platinum base was much more viscous a day after opening. not a good sign.

==== volume ====
we tried water, kuskus and polymorph pellets.\\

but best is to [[https://www.calculator.net/volume-calculator.html?rtanklength=19.5&rtanklengthunit=centimeters&rtankwidth=6.5&rtankwidthunit=centimeters&rtankheight=2&rtankheightunit=centimeters&rectcal=Calculate#rectangular|calc]]

{{:pasted:20181227-150102.png}}

calculate 3d volume from simplify3D = 22.5 per bit

(22.5*4)/253 = **163** [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre|{{:pasted:20181227-150603.png}}]]
