Description

** Get an early start! Get the Christmas version now! **

 

 

Light up different Halloween scenes in this display. A tea light candle is required.

The display features a door that opens to allow access to the tea light. Use a section of 1.75mm filament inside the hinge to connect the door to the case. Depending on your printer/setup, this hole may be on the tight side or a bit loose. If tight, drilling out the hole may help. If it is slightly oversized, I suggest melting the end of the filament piece with a soldering iron or lighter.

I have included a separate liner. This allows you to print the case in a dark color, but line the inside with a lighter color to allow for more reflection of light outward, making everything brighter.

For a complete display, you will need:

  • 1x Case
  • 1x Door
  • 1x Knob
  • 1x Snap Ring
  • 1x Liner - Optional
  • 1x (minimum) Scene - You can easily remove the snap ring to swap out scenes as desired

Check out my other holiday models here.

Print Settings

No special setting are needed for the display case, door, knob, snap ring and liner.

 

Scenes Print Settings

Print the scenes with 100% infill. The scenes also require color changes:

  • The top 2 layers should be black
  • If there is no moon in the scene, all other layers can be white or clear - both look nice
  • If there is a moon in the scene, it will look best if the bottom 2 layers are printed in clear filament
    • All other layers should be white
    • All non-black layers could be printed in all white or all clear if one isn't available to you

 

Assembly

Glue the knob into the door. Only a very small amount is needed.

Put the door in place and latch it. Use a 20mm piece of 1.75mm filament to connect the 3 sections of the hinge. If the filament goes in very easily, it may be a good idea to heat up the top end of the filament ‘pin’ and press it flat. This will prevent the pin from falling through later on.

Open the door. Insert a scene into the opening (image facing outward). Insert the snap ring behind the scene by gently squeezing and placing it into the groove (see red arrow below).

If you are using a liner, slide it inside the case. This may be a tight fit. Go slowly and be sure to slide it in evenly on all sides.

Turn on your tea light and close the door.

Love it, I just wish you could print a hinge since different sizes. Still working on that

I've used this style of hinge on other models. With those, I've had users tell me that they scaled up at certain increments so they can use common bolt sizes as the hinge pin. 175% for an M3 bolt, 230% for an M4 bolt, etc. Hope this helps!

I'm trying to figure out why there is a creepy hand in your photo...

How did you manage to do the colour change like you did on the large one with the witches?

I found some flickering LEDs at my local walmart so i used that behind the window. Added some rub n buff antique gold to give it an antiquated look, spooky!

I also had that nerve-wracking "trust the process" moment printing the individual scenes, but mine also turned out great too.

Not sure if you'd be willing to answer this question but I am curious how do you get the other print profiles added like that because when I tried to add more than one print profile MakerWorld gave me an error about only 1 print profile is allowed? Thank you.
