Helping and having someone do the whole project for you are two different things.
As a guess, the chances of someone on this forum having g-code to make the parts you want is about .001%
In order to get the g-code, you need to start with the 3D models. Since you don't have them, someone would need to create them. I seriously doubt anyone here would have them.
If you're not supplying the 3D models, and they're not freely available, then what your asking for is not trivial.
Finding g-codes for molds of anything would be very rare. Anyone creating 3D models of molds would probably be unlikely to share them, as they would involve a lot of time and effort. And what your asking for are very specialized items, making them even more rare.
When you want to do stuff that nobody else is doing, it's going to take a lot of effort on your part.
I would highly recommend learning g-code, as it makes troubleshooting and fine tuning your machine much easier.
But for what you want to do, you don't really need to know g-code at all. You need to learn how to use a 3D CAD and modelling program, and an appropriate CAM program to create the g-code form the models you create.
Have you checked the Sketchup 3D warehouse? (I think that's what it's called).
If not, try googling for 3D models of the parts you want.
As it's highly unlikely that you'll find models of actual molds, the easiest method might be to cast a mold off the actual machined part. Creating a mold from a 3D model takes specific skills that a lot of people just don't have.
