It’s the spookiest time of the year. Ready to operate your 3D printer to get your house decorated for Halloween? We’ve collected some easy-to-print 3D models for you and your family. They are not too scary and fun to play with. It’s a good chance to buy one 3D printer and cultivate your children’s interests in STEM.
Halloween Dance Party
This awesome halloween scene comes on three “cards” that you can print in any color you like. It snaps together easily and is super fun. Just remember to print at .2 layer height, or you’ll mess up the tolerance.

Glow-in-the-dark, Poseable Skeleton
This Tinkerplay Skelton is a hidden gem! It’s completely designed in Tinkercad, by a former Tinkercad designer. That means you can look at his original files in Tinkercad and design extras, props and mods.
Our Skelly is using the original body (link below) and a less scary head (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3254704).
Skelly is completely poseable and stands on his own. Tons of fun!

Jack-O-Lantern Candy Dispenser
The Jack-O-Lantern Candy Dispenser is a fun way to dispense candy over the Halloween period!
The design features and internal structure that rotates to open / close a hatch in the mouth. It’s easy to use with the mouth hatch closed just pour candy into the hole in the top of the stem, then rotate the stem to open the hatch and dispense candy out through the mouth.
It holds about a half cup of M&Ms or similar sized candy and dispenses them by turning the stem.

Halloween Pumpkin Spider Transformer
This one is a little complicated compared to the above prints. The spider can fold up into a pumpkin ball.
It’s a “simplified” remix of the original file you’ll find everywhere. I still needed to use a raft, but only supports on the slices. This version is also broken into more parts so you can print all the parts in any color you like – there’s no paint on this model.

Cute Flexi Print-in-place Skeleton
This adorable flexi skeleton can be printed in one-piece with no supports. He has loosely connected joints so he wiggles around.
This is not a free file, but $2 is worthy for a really awesome design that doesn’t need supports!
This one takes 3 hours in low quality, but he’s well worth the 7 hours printing in 0.16 layer height.

Ghost Tea Light
These super cute ghosts are easy to print. You can print one in an hour on low quality – no supports or rafts needed. The walls are nice and thin, so when you tuck a battery tea light inside them they glow.

Melting Candle Tea Light Candle Holders
3D print this spooky, super melty candle for your table. It’s a fairly long print – 8 hours for the smaller one on standard quality. But the end result is no mess drippy candle that you can light with a battery tealight. The file is free at My Mini Factory, and there’s a set of 3.
