October 05, 2023
It's spooky season again and the perfect time to fire up your 3D printers, thermoformers and laser cutters to make some creepy, frightening, haunting, interesting and sometimes cute decorations, costumes and wearables for your Halloween adventures this year!
Below we have compiled a list of some fun files you can check out to make for yourselves, family, friends or guests and get your creative wheels turning!
3D Printed Halloween Creations
We have compiled a collection of some of our favorite 3D printed files for Halloween themed designs that we have come upon this year to share with you!
Most can be either printed in multiple colors or painted after printing!
Spider Pumpkin
First up! It's a pumpkin...it's a spider...wait! It is both!
This cute little Halloween Pumpkin Spider Transformer file can be 3D printed either in multiple colors or painted later to use as a fun decoration or some funky little halloween party favors!
Designer: Megawilbot
Where to find it: Thingiverse.
Skull lamps - Voronoi Style
This beautiful skull lamp was a remix from a solid skull print and turned into a gorgeous Voronoi style dislpay. Pop some led lights inside and sit back in your lair, dungeon or living room and relax or place near the front steps for some spooky lighting when your trick-or-treaters stop by!
Designer: Shiuan
Where to find it: Thingiverse
Thumbtack Mountable Reaching Wall Hands
All of these reaching hands can be 3D printed using 0% infill making them much lighter for wall mounting. Each file comes with a base that has premade cutouts for thumb tacks.
Use on your walls or your tables near the candy dish!
Designer: Forge F0r63

Jack O'Lantern with Snap On Faces
This design for a Jack O'Lantern gives you multiple interchangeable faces to switch out as you please without having to 3D print multiple full pumpkins. The faces print out flat so they are much easier to create and do not need support material.
If you get a good set of lights inside, you can accomplish great projections from both the front and back of the pumpkin!
Designer: Trevor Hjelmfelt

Cute Skull Lamp Army
This adorable skull lamp makes for a fun project for those who like a more hands on creative process.
3D Print with see-through colorful filaments or paint a clear filament to create a rainbow skeleton army for your home or party.
You will need some ultra bright white LEDS, some AA batteries and could possibly need to do some wire bendng and soldering as well as busting out the handy-dandy glue gun for this project but it will be worth it! The designer has provided some great step by step instructions for you too!

3D Forming and Thermoforming Halloween Ideas
The Mayku FormBox vacuum former and Makyu Multiplier Thermorforming machine can be used to create all kinds of wonderful things, including soaps, masks, costume pieces, treats and candles in fun Halloween shapes.
Thermoformed Masks
Many of us remember those years roaming around the neighborhood with costumes we begged our parents for that came with thermoformed and vacuum formed plastic masks with tiny sharp eye holes you could barely see out of, but that would slice you like Freddy Krueger at bedtime if you put your fingers or nose through!
Now you can make those at home with your very own vacuum forming or thermoforming machines, some 3D printed or clay forms and a lot of fun!
The Tiki man mask above was created by Bob Knetzger for Make Magazine.
