Halloween Design Challenge: Coolest Submission Gets You A Spool Of Glow-in-the-dark ABS!
The temperature is dropping, and so are the leaves. That can only mean one thing – Halloween is ominously looming. To get you in the spirit of the season, we want you to design Halloween things – anything ghoulish, spooky, creepy, and cool. Be creative! Blow us away with your innovations.
A few parameters
- Must be .stl file uploaded to Thingiverse and tagged with “Halloween”
- Must be a new design as of 8 October, 2010
- Deadline is Monday, October 18th at 11:11 p.m.
- Must be innovative, spooky, and and printable with a MakerBot
- Bonus points for requiring the Makerbot 3D Scanner v1.0 Kit, Unicorn, or Automated Build Platform
The best designs will be judged by our expert panel of holiday spirit guides, and creators of the best designs will receive a one pound roll of ABS!

I don’t have an original design, but as soon as the automated build platform and glow-in-the-dark plastic arrive I’ll be printing this two-part skull: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3400
I’ve attempted it before on my stock machine but it really needs a heated build platform to prevent curling so that the pieces fit together.

I’m currently working on cleaning up that object. See http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4378
