Learn how to make a 3D-printed Halloween Tree Stump LED candle holder.
Introduction
Just in time for Halloween, I made this 3D-printed Halloween Tree Stump LED candle holder. Designed to be easy to print, and creates a unique Halloween decoration, that is not quite like the traditional Jack-O-Lanterns.
You will need:
- A 3D Printer with at minimum a 10x10x10cm printable area
- A spool of wood colored PLA filament
- An LED candle
3D Printing
The Tree Stump was originally designed as a pen holder, by Thingiverse user Daniel Stein (here), but I then remixed it and added space for the LED candle and of course the Halloween themed carved out face.
Designing
I first remixed the pen holder in Autodesk® Tinkercad®, to add a bigger hole that would fit the LED candle. Thereafter I designed the Halloween Pumpkin face in Autodesk® Fusion 360®, and after importing that model to Autodesk® Tinkercad® I could retract the face from the tree stump.
You can get the stl files from the link below or from Thingiverse here.
Printing
The part is printed with wood colored filament, with NO support. Though you will need to do some manual clean-up afterwards (See images).
Assembly
Now just turn on the LED candle, and place it inside the stump, and you are finished!
The result and final notes
That's it! Now you have a great looking halloween decoration, to add to the ever growing collection.
I hope you like this design, and if you do, I would very much appreciate is if you wised me best of luck in the Halloween-contest on Instructables.
