I used this box for casting tin.
A model placed within, then filled up with molding sand - this works well.
Beware that the plastic melts, where it touches the hot metall. But donĀ“t bother about it - it will work anyway.

I place a freecad file as well - so you can change the size.
I released a casting ring as a customizer as well:
