How to Make Molds for Designer Edibles
Weed love to try these
When you're consuming certain types of edibles, it would be useful to control the dosage (um, you know, calories and all of that). But commercially-made edibles don't make that easy. In this video, industrial designer Eric Strebel walks you through how to make cool custom molds using a 3D printer and silicone to create edibles that you can break into fairly precise portions. As a bonus, the molds could also be used to make chocolates and ice cubes:

I've been interested in printing a food mold to cast into some food safe resin, I'll have to give this a watch!
It's 2019, it's OK to admit that you're breaking up the edibles for getting-high rather than caloric reasons.
What kind of drugs do you need to take to think that Eric Strebel has paying clients?
I used Sorta Clear to make chocolates for Valentine's day and one thing missed in the video is that you should wash the silicone with dish soap after you remove from it from the master mold.
correct, I actually did that, but did not put it in the video. I used some fruit wash stuff.
Love the project, i wish you had a full tutorial on the fusion360 part of it. But the principal point is lost on me. 1 gummy bear is the portion! Its a good idea to mold a different shape, say a skull or a cannabis leaf to prevent children and teens to mistakenly overdose (many such instances have sent MANY to the hospital). But a big piece that you need to break or cut? Then you put back in your pocket? I think that idea perhaps came while... medicated
Rain, hilarious commentary as usual. Love it!
It's a nice tutorial for this mold making technique and a fun final shape for a candy, but, imo, this is a really poor solution for an actual problem. Just design the gummy size and concentration so that each one is the smallest possible dose (e.g. 1-2 mg). Why have a "serving" be 1–1/6 of a giant gummy when you can just design a serving to be 1–6 pieces? Much more repeatable.
