LET'S BEGIN THE SPOOKY SEASON! HERE'S THE FIRST HALLOWEEN COUNTDOWN CALENDAR FOR 2025! (Patreon)

Hello my friends!

I hope everyone is doing well! :)

Last year, I started the Halloween projects at your request in August, to give you time to stock your shops.

This year, I've already received a few requests asking if I'm starting these projects soon, and I was just in the mood to start a little earlier! So I launched this little countdown calendar project, just to get into the Halloween spirit a little!

I'll probably move on to other Halloween projects after that, as I've already received a few requests. If you have any objections, please let me know below! It's quite likely that some conventional projects will slip in between these projects over the next few weeks too, between the Halloween projects.

So, this is a super simple little project to get started with! A really easy one!

Many people are already familiar with the style of these calendars, which use the concept of numbered cubes similar to those used in Christmas countdowns (the chimney with Santa, the star, and the little house).

The cubes are configured for a 31-day countdown, but if you want to go further and count up to 99 days, simply print two more cubes and you're done.

Remember, because I get asked this almost every year: There's no "9," it's the "6" placed upside down that becomes a "9." Simple as that!

As most of my projects, everything prints without any supports.

Some pieces require color changes per layer, but everything can be done on any type of printer, without AMS. If you're not familiar with color changes by layers (often called "color change at height", I invite you to visit my Facebook community group for help, either by searching or creating a post:

The project also prints on a mini-sized printer. Please note however, that some pieces like the tree, must be placed at a 45-degree angle on your bed to accommodate the size of mini-sized printer beds.

That being said, and true to my practice for this type of project, both an English and a French version are included in the files. Everything is very well annotated, so you shouldn't have any trouble differentiating which is which.

As usual, a BambuLab file is included with the color changes and settings I prefer already set. Of course, this is purely a suggestion; feel free to make any changes you like; this project prints well in multiple settings without any issues. My only recommendation: Use at least three walls to ensure the pieces are at least somewhat sturdy.

For the rest, instructions are included, although everything goes together very well instinctively.

Finally, I would like to point out that a battery operated tealight placed behind the calendar gives a very beautiful spooky look, as you can see in the first photo!

So that's it! Hope you like it!

Have fun, my friends!
