Get Spooky with Eight Halloween 3D Prints

It’s Halloween morning. Your party is tonight. Everything is 99% ready, but your ultra-violet skeleton just lost its articulated hand and there’s no time to custom order a new one. However, there is just enough time to 3D print one.

3D printing can bring custom, intricate, ornate decorations a reality, but it can also be a life saver. Even prints found online, like the ones we’ll be going through today, have a level of easy customizability, and can be scaled to whatever size is needed and printed in any color. 

So whether you’re looking for a teeny-tiny blood-red candle or a replacement hand for that ultra-violet skeleton, keep reading. 

Eight Spooky 3D Prints

Jack-O-Benchy Lantern (Pumpkin Benchy) by Omari_3D_Prints

Let’s kick things off with the first thing many folks print: a benchy. But this benchy has a pumpkin themed twist and the potential to even glow, as designer Omari_3D_Prints left in space for a small tea light or LED. If your Halloween party is a bit nerdy (and it probably is, let's be honest), this is a must-print.

Pumpkin Teeth Halloween decoration by Steve 3d

If you’re looking for a small and easy print that will add a bit of pop to any pumpkin carving, try teeth. Whether you’re printing massive, blood red fangs or tiny relatively-normal teeth, Steve 3d [sic] has you covered. And, given the small size of these teeth (provided you don’t upscale them too much), most modern printers should be able to knock these out fairly quickly. Maybe some glow-in-the-dark filament to really make them stand out?

Halloween Geometrical Pumkin by Dain

Nothing says the Fall holidays more than some indoor pumpkins -- especially when you don’t have to take them down after Halloween. These Geometrical Pumkins [sic] are eye-catching and easy to print; they don’t even require supports. Pop a tea light inside and you’ve got an easy spooky glow for your Halloween vibes. 

Halloween Skull Candy Bowl by 3DPOINTWORLD

You have to put all that candy somewhere, right? So why waste the holiday with a boring, every day bowl. Get creative with this Halloween Skull themed candy bowl from 3DPOINTWORLD [sic]. Our Editor-in-Chief Dan Ackerman printed this in a gorgeous metallic gold, but a glow-in-the-dark filament would be a sure-hit for trick-or-treaters.

Print in Place Fully Articulated Skeleton Hand by KOGI3D

You know what would look great mixed in with the candy bowl? A fully articulated skeleton hand. And thankfully KOGI3D has you covered with a print-in-place model. That means that the whole hand is a single print, ready to me articulated the second it pops off the build plate; no need to mess with glue, screws, or any other construction.

If you’re looking for something with a bit more flesh on the bones, check out this Zombie Stake from RandomPerson4. These hands can pop up anywhere, from outdoor gardens to indoor shrubberies, keeping your party guests guessing as to where the next spook might come from.

Ornamental Skull Stackable Coasters by Bamingo Design

Depending on your printer, these Ornamental Skull Stackable Coasters are either going to be just as easy as all the rest or a little bit trickier. If you have a multi-filament printer or a printer with the Bambu Lab AMS hooked up, just make sure you have two separate colors marked when you press print. If you have a single-filament machine, you’re going to need to program in a pause. Baningo Design suggests swapping colors at layer #12. However, done right, these look absolutely fantastic.

Floating dripping candle – LED tealight holder by pozsar

Printed by our EiC Dan, is it magic keeping these dripping candles floating in midair, or is it a clever design from Makerworld user pozsar? I have a theory, but the only way to prove it is to download the STL and try it out yourself. And be sure to put these in a safe spot; they’re neat enough that your party guests might try and make off with one or two.
