Marshmallow Ghosts!
Added 2021-10-05 17:15:42 +0000 UTCHey there, my favourite people!
Maybe you're celebrating Halloween! Maybe you just like ghosts - who doesn't, right?!
These little ghostlings have a secret - they're actually hollow, and the base on which they sit is effectively a lid, and unscrews to reveal... well, whatever you happen to put in there. Candy, treasure, smaller ghosts... the options are endless...
Printing Tips
This is another easy print - no supports needed and all the angles are friendly.
The ghost itself prints right-way up, as does the base, and the eyes print flat on their backs. Note that you might want to use a raft for the eyes since they're so tiny and might challenge your bed adhesion. But then again, they take no time to print anyway, so it's not a huge risk :)
Print Dimensions
The Marshmallow Ghost occupies 52mm x 52mm on the print bed and is 64mm tall.
The base occupies 60mm x 59mm on the bed and is 10mm tall.
The eyes, well, those are tiny :)

Further Thoughts
It turns out that if you scale the Marshmallow Ghost to about 120% it'll fit an LED tealight quite nicely...
Happy printing!

I loved this print and it gave me two ideas: 1) An alternate base that has a recessed center. This would allow the tea light to sit lower and light up more of the ghost. 2) A christmas tree version. Base could be round (tree trunk) and tree could be wider than the βtrunkβ.

2021-10-23 17:22:48 +0000 UTCI love the print... with my fan shroud, it even sounds spooky while printing...(theres a slight whistling as it gets toward the top) :)

2021-10-19 05:36:33 +0000 UTCI just printed one at 120% without infill and it came out perfect.

2021-10-07 13:01:35 +0000 UTCPrinting those right now with clear Prusament PETG and putting my timer led tea lights in π Some glow in the dark will follow. Will be awesome when the led light turns of and it glows red π Do you think it would print without infill? I think the most critical part to print without infill would be the βheadβ π€
2021-10-06 22:31:16 +0000 UTCThese look amazing!

2021-10-05 21:54:08 +0000 UTCThese are next up on my printer once I finish this steampunk egg. FYI - Timer led tea lights are perfect for this. When you turn them on, they stay on for 6 hours, off for 18, and repeats.
