I am doing concrete studies, this is a poly geo Curved honeycomb vase... You could also use gel or silicon for the mold. I would:
Print as detailed as you can (no supports needed)
Sand down the matting faces
Create some kind of paper gasket (you could use the edge of a pencil to create a paper copy then cut out a few to get a good seal). Google "grave stone rubbings" if you don't know what I mean by that
Install nut's/bolts and tighten
Throw some rubber bands around it for good measure
Pour molding material, making sure to "knock" or "shake" to remove bubbles
Wait AT LEAST 100% of the recommended wait to for your material
CAREFULLY remove/reveal
I also did the easter island head / Moai statue:
