So here they are! A super cute pumpkin familly with 5 different models

They are super easy to print, with no glue required. And you can print the pumpkin body with 0% infill or lightning infill with perfect results, to save time and filament. 

You can use them with tealights (battery operated ones, not real candles please!!!). They are great to decorate your house, and you can even store some candies in it like chocolate bars and Rockets. 

As usual: 

-100% support free (the only part needing support is already pre-supported)-Can be scale to any size-No glue needed. Tolerances are made to be snug fit, but not too tight. If your calibration is good, you should hear a nice snapping action between the ring,stem and the cover.-Strong design.-All parts already placed in the right orientation for printing.-Included simple instructions.

The model with one eye, is pre-supported. So the only thing you have to do, is print it normally, and then remove the mouth support. It should come off very easily. 

I have tried with different layer heights and they work all really well.

My suggestion is to use the variable layer height feature you'll find in many slicers to print with a large layer height (like 0.24 or 0.30) the main body and the majority of the cover, but to use a smaller layer height for the last part of the cover, like 0.12 to have a smoother finish.

Another suggestion is to print them with Glow-in-the-dark filament. They look great and they will shine at night like little monsters. 

Hope you like them! Have fun!

I'm coming back soon with some Hot Wheels content! :)Have a nice day!Pascal

What filaments did you use to make them? I love the colors!

I wanted to print the orange one in 350% but then the walls are really thick, and will use over 1kg of filament :( I guess its too much to ask for a version with thinner walls

Hi Kamil The shape of the pumpkin is creating those thick walls. It is really hard to make them thinner. But i have a solution for you, and i will change my description to include it; The number of walls (shells) will be the same no matter what size you are printing it. The main difference is in the infill mostly. But those pumpkins can be printed with 0 infill with no problem (the body, the biggest part, not the cover). Or if you wanna use some infill, use the lightning infill in cura or prusa slicer. With a 15% lightning infill, you will save a lot of material. To give you some proportions, at 200% with no infill, i'm printing those in 8 hours and 180g of filament. With the lightning infill, i'm at 10h, with 190g of filament. At 350% (didnt try it), my slicer is giving me for my cr10 max 480g for 0% infill and just over 500g with lightning infill. So at the end, it should be almost the same with a model with thinner walls. Have a look at this and tell me if this works!!! :)

I don't think I can print it with 0 infill as there is a gap on the bottom, at 350% is 3mm so quite big. anyway I never heard about lightning infill but will try it. it reduced filament usage from 992g to 612g :) I'm using a 0.6 nozzle so 2 walls will give 1.2mm, so might be strong enough (for some reason I like to print things unnecessarily strong...) now I have to wait 2 days to see how it turn out :] Thank you for your help :) I'll let you know how it worked when its finished
