I'm planning to make custom eyes for my DD and Angelphilia girls. In order to make the eye bases I've been looking at silicon moulds, to use with uv cure resin. All of the ones I can find are shaped like this, with a round hole in the middle to place the printed design:

However, I want to make eyes that look more like these with a flat top, no hole:

I've mostly seen creators in the Japanese side of the hobby do it this way. From what I see, the eye base is made, the printed eye stuck on top, and then covered in a layer of clear resin. I really like the way it looks. I've been looking for moulds for this shape but I can't find any, does anyone know if they exist? I suppose I could make a custom shape with epoxy and create a silicon mould for it (tips on how to do this with silicon are welcome!) but I'd rather buy a mould if possible! I'd be open to commissioning one as well if anyone offers this type of service?
Thank you for any advice or insight you may have! ♡
