Really any tips will be really helpful.

As he explained to 3ders.org, MOLDLAY is a type of plastic with distinct wax-like properties. Specifically, it becomes liquid (with a thin oil viscosity) when heated up to about 270 degrees Celsius thanks to some specially chosen types of oily paraffin. At the same time, it’s very rigid and solid at room temperature, and becomes extrudable when heated up to 170-180 degrees Celsius (keep your printbed at 40 degrees).
