Inspired by the Minifig headgear, I designed Brick element #20695 as a classic Halloween pumpkin decoration aka. Jack O'Lantern. Named "Brick O' Lantern," it’s the perfect Halloween decor for every AFOL.
Model Details: The model consists of two parts: the pumpkin and a lid (screw top). The pumpkin is currently available in two versions:
- Without a hole at the bottom: For those who want it as authentic as possible. There is only a small indentation for the tealight at the base.
- With a hole at the bottom: For those who prefer practicality. There is only a small indentation for the tealight at the base and the hole allows you to thread fairy-light LEDs or easily turn the tealight on and off without needing to remove it each time.
The print files provided are for Orca Slicer / Bambu Studio with all needed Settings and manual tree Support!
Used Material:
- Pumpkin: Sunlu PLA+ Orange
- Stem: Bambulab PLA Basic Green
Additional Material: For the best result and an authentic atmosphere, I recommend using one of these light sources:
- LED tealight, preferably in warm yellow (KC008) or warm white (KC018)
- LED fairy-light string: I used something like this
- Short LED strip in warm yellow or with effect LEDs Do not use candles or any other hot light sources! Severe fire hazard!
Printing
- Pumpkin: In the provided print files, I marked the necessary areas with tree supports and slightly expanded the base. After printing several copies, I found that support is only really needed around the mouth area. For the top eye section, basic bridging is more than enough. The upper section is designed so that no additional support is necessary.
- Lid: I’ve also configured all the necessary settings for the lid.
Assembly: Assembly is very simple: turn on the light source, place it inside, and screw the lid on. Done!
You’ll get the best result with a warm yellow LED tealight. Fairy-light LEDs also create a beautiful effect.
