# Easily create personalised ice cubes #

* No CAD skills required
* Simple print. No supports.
* Also useful as molds for kinetic sand or play-doh

Included examples (.stl):
* ICE
* GIN
* RUM

*IMPORTANT:* Ice molds require flexible filament
* The safety of 3d printed materials for food preparation is highly debated
* I personally use filament that is certified as food-safe (Eolas Prints TPU, Spain)
* I also use a non-toxic hardened steel nozzle, rather than a standard brass nozzle

## If you've never printed with flexible filaments before:

* it's definitely worth a try!
* start with a semi-flexible filament (e.g. 95A TPU)
* start with *this* design (Seriously. It's dead easy.)


To release the ice, run hot water on the back of the mold, and then extract with a blunt knife.
The more flexible the filament, the easier the extraction.

## How to customise:

* Install the free software [OpenSCAD](https://openscad.org/)
* Do a 30 min online tutorial to
