Starter cart & supporting information

Starter cart: A$276.80 before delivery

This conditional estimate covers the course categories using some substitutes, printed cutters and household equipment. It assumes you already have a suitable outer saucepan, spoon, knife and round former.

The 500 g olive wax was out of stock and the A$10 matte mat was backordered; mat fit and wax softness remain unverified. Excluding those two products gives A$237.55, but that is an incomplete kit. Prices and shipping to Calamvale must be checked.

Open supplier-by-supplier starter cart

Earlier A$706.31 scenario includes a 20 kg wax box; it remains in the full research for reference.

3D-printable cutters and stamps

Print additional petal shapes and test on cooled, pliable wax. A flexible silicone veiner is retained in the starter plan.

Check material temperature tolerance and model licences. These models have not been printed or tested for this project.

# List of materials
Beeswax

Its softness can be adjusted using an additive or olive wax to both softness and harshness

An additive for the softness and plasticity of the wax is microcrystalline wax Soft Wax (add 10 to 20% to the wax, depending on how plastic the beeswax is initially)

I also recommend taking any olive wax to the beeswax to mix it for the stems at 30 percent, otherwise the stems may be a little soft on pure beeswax and not hold their shape

Weiners (molds for veins) and cutters (cutters) example:

https://a.co/d/08jYIuUm [[Pasted image 20261114123316.png]] (can this be 3d printed?)

look for similar shapes, not necessarily the same as mine
In general, these cutters and weiners have been used for confectionery and polymer clay for a very long time and there are a huge number of suppliers on the market, even if you just enter queries in the buzz with the appropriate words☝️

Liquid and dry dyes (you can use any others, as long as they are for candles)

In the lessons I use yellow, a couple of shades of green - olive and dark green, a couple of shades of pink (take it to your taste), white (take a lot of it), blue for hyacinth (but it can be made white and yellow and pink - choose according to your taste)
All dyes can be mixed with each other

Amazon is an example (any others are possible, and there are a lot of them on Alik too, the main thing is that they are specifically for candles)

Matte silicone mat (required) for rolling out wax in the machine

Heat-resistant silicone mat for wax spillage

Pasta machine

With Amazon (I think Alika also has this) you can have a simple analogue, like in my lessons

From simple tools - scissors with sharp edges, a spoon, a knife, a Turk with a non-stick coating, small maracas or some kind of round shape (I have 11 cm)
Price and requirement audit

The comparison includes historical marketplace observations and approximate prices, not confirmed delivery quotes. A cheaper AliExpress dye kit could lower the estimate, but its exact variant, colours, availability and shipping are unconfirmed.
