Welcome. Your best bet is You Tube. I can’t say if a 3D printed mold could take the heat, if it can that is the easiest, at least probably not with PLA. There must be some simple to produce limited run mold types available. Wood maybe. ---

Sorry you probably haven’t been on maker World as I said in the comment. The mold is printed with PETG and the form is made Pla. I want to know what software was used and how to make them. YouTube show only the tail end deal ---

I looked up Maker World/molds and they all looked looked they where drawn up on a CAD program. If you don’t have one there are several free to use programs available. You can also use a graphic program like Blender. After that the rest is done on you printers slicer. If you can’t find pre-drawn files to use you will need to create your own. Sorry no shortcuts. If that isn’t what you needed to know then ask away.
