Pete and Boo
Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4975087.
Designed these fun and useful decorations to be sold in a local art gallery.
Pete and Boo are both printed out of a glow in the dark PLA (DURAMIC 3D PLA Glow in The Dark Filament), and they each have a light that can be activated by unscrewing the hat on their heads. There are large strong magnets in both their front and back halves. This makes it possible to attach them to a thin window, a piece of plexiglass. or a screen door, and have the effect of them flying through the material.
BOO, Large Ghost If Boo was to be put in a box it would have to be 7" wide x 12'' deep x 13" tall. The front head portion is the most interesting and useful thing about Boo. The strong magnets create an excellent bond to a metal door or fridge, and the shape of the sculpture is great for hanging a Halloween reef. The tea light inside the head flickers, creating a flame-like glow. It has its own timer and will only stay on for 5 hrs. then turn back on the next day at the same time it was turned on the day before. The battery is reported to last for a month on this operation. Magnets I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072K586ZW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Light I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085DC2JQ6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 Split this one to print with no supports, will need glued together. I recommend using the pins to get things lined up.
Pete, Small Ghost If Pete was to be put in a box it would have to be 2.75'' wide x 4.5'' deep x 5'' tall Pete is fun to play around with on the fridge, or screen door. Both his head and butt are useful magnets. The light inside Pete's head is tiny and bright. It doesn't have a timer and the battery is reported to only last 3 or 4 hrs. I had to special order tiny lights that were supposed to fit, but ended up cutting them down with a dremel. Not sure if the light is even necessary. Takes 12, 10mm magnets https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0753ZPBLQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Light I used will not fit unless cut down https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0734HGMWD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I have been printing this one upside down in one piece, yeah it will need supports, but its not too much of a waist of time or material.
Either hat will need supports as well, might have designed it so they didn't, but I like the effect of a different surface texture on the underside of the hat.
