At the oven, 220°C during 1h.

I only have a cup cake mold for now, so let’s try it.

I learned that

1. it takes a lot of PLA scraps, so that’s a good way to reduce the volume of those,
2. the silicon mold is easy to break, I need to be more careful next time,
3. the result is very nice. I can’t wait to have a more useful mold,

next try, make a mold of my choice
