I love Halloween and I love pumpkins, but it seems like everyone in the 3D printing community is making pumpkins so I decided to defy conventional wisdom and make something a little more... modular. I designed these little light towers so you can illuminate them with a regular tealight (small round candle), a LED tealight or a solar lawn light. These are intended to be made with transparent filament, but you are welcome to remix them however you like to create anew design.
The idea is simple: if you have solar lights like the ones shown in the photos, turn them upside down and put them in the base of the light tower as seen in the photos. You can print a color insert with transparent filament - I use TPU - and make it glow any color you like.
NOTE - There are two basic designs, closed and open top. The Open Top models are for use with a regular wax candle. DO NOT USE THE CLOSED TOP MODELS WITH A NORMAL WAX CANDLE, THEY WILL MELT AND POTENTIALLY CATCH FIRE! ONLY USE THE OPEN TOP MODELS WITH A WAX CANDLE.
The color inserts are ONLY FOR USE WITH A LED LIGHT, NOT A WAX CANDLE!
You can customize these any way you like - there is a blank model so you can add your own design. Print face down and use different infill patterns for a unique pattern for the eyes, etc. Keep the infill for a groovy design that would make @davemakesstuff_ giggle or remove them for a different look. You can paint them any color you like. The potential for creativity is endless.
Included are two Halloween standees. Print the front with transparent filament and print the back with the color of your choosing. Put a light or candle behind it and add a little spookiness to someone's day. I used a glue stick to assemble the standees. As long as they don't get wet they should be ok.
I use two-sided tape under the bottoms to anchor them in place so the wind etc. won't blow them over, they are very light.
