Safety Inserts or Wax Management Solutions for Modular Candle Holders
The creator of the 'Modular Candle Holder' (Das Form Studio), in response to a user's question about what happens when the candles burn down, recognized a need for improvement: "Maybe I need some kind of metal that prevents it from melting downwards." This suggests a clear opportunity for a product enhancement or a new accessory, specifically a heat-resistant insert (like metal) designed for the candle modules.
This insert would make the candle holder safer by containing hot residual wax and preventing potential damage to the holder or surfaces underneath. It would also simplify cleaning and protect the modular components from wax buildup, extending the product's lifespan. This component could be marketed as an add-on accessory for current users or integrated into future versions, boosting customer satisfaction and adding value to the product.

Anything unable to catch fire would be an improvement.
You might try using the printed parts as a mould for something like a rubber dip and use the rubber moulds to make Plaster of Paris pr

I don't want to break the modularity with adding some kind of "burn prevention" I want to make every part of the system stand for itself, and the metal would heat up too so...I thought about

Yes, you need to consider the fire risk and design it out.
It would be insufficient to rely on people putting out a candle before it reaches flammable plastic.
