Using Wow Model Viewer you can 3D print a version of your character. I had a few issues when using the software so I’m writing a post about it.

Kit Information

I’m using

a Windows laptop (gaming),
and Alpha version v0.10.0.766 Windows 32 bits of Wow Model Viewer

Downloading Wow Model Viewer

I’ve recently gone back to wow model viewer to check if there have been any updates, but it’s still 0.10.X and beta. (October 2021)

Why use Wow Model Viewer?

UV LEDs used for curing a resin print.

3D printers are so much more affordable and there are some amazing printers out there. The ability to have a 3D version of your current character is very exciting for a lot of gamers.

Also, we love our transmog and I’m sure we do make changes with new gear that we get so it’s a great way to see some of our different armor sets!

A resin printer has been used for these prints. Resin printers can easily handle the fine detail at this small scale.

We used a Creality printer.

Also, because I do gel nails at home (a perk of covid lockdown?) we have a UV nail lamp that cured the prints nicely. I had started creating a UVLED nail lamp project but this is still ongoing.

Getting Started

You’ll need to have wow, a wow character – Alliance?

Also, download a copy of the current version of Wow Model Viewer. This is still being updated for the new version of WoW Shadowlands, so some things won’t work correctly so be patient and forgiving. I’ll update when this changes though.

Launch WOW Model Viewer

Launch the viewer and run it on your PC.

The launch screen.

For me, when I followed tutorials I opened the location of my WoW data file. This is needed so the model viewer can find your game folder and files.

But this results in crashing the program every time.

I did read that fixing the databases through the Blizzard game launch panel might fix this.

But I rebuilt my files and still no joy.

Repairing WOW

If you want to try it though:

open the Blizzard main game interface
next to the blue play button, is a cog for setting or options
select the scan and repair option
wait while it scans
then close wow again, wow will need to be closed when you launch the model viewer.

where to find the repair function on wow

This may fix the issue for some people. Try to launch the wow model viewer and find your wow install. See if you have any luck using it this way.

Wow Model Viewer screen. Locating my version of Wow though it still won’t launch.

If it still doesn’t launch for you then you can try using a direct import of your character from the WOW armory.

Alternative way to get your character into the wow model viewer

Go directly to blizzard and your wow account. This is the armory where all your characters are. Do a search for your character.

This is the information you’ll see. You can see all your armor, enchants, raids etc.

Copy the link to your character from the browser search bar. This is the link you’ll need to put into the model viewer program.

Importing your character

Open Wow Model Viewer. It still will ask you where your wow install is located and hopefully, it will work for you. I still click ok at the pop-ups but then just wait for it to fail.

Edit your character.

When my character was imported the armour and transmogs were different. We can fix a lot of this. Using the menu on the right > select the part you want to modify. In the video I selected legs first. This opens a leg window of the parts you can use.

Note I edited this video – it took a LONG time to open the pop up window so be patient!

Then I selected chest to choose a chest piece for the character.

You can also change the pose of your character.

Changing the pose of your character

Here I choose the animation of the character. You can also select the exact part of that animation that you’d like.

Using the drop down menu (in the video we can’t see it drop down though) and I chose Stormstrike first, then walk. From there I use the slider to the right and chose a particular screen of it.

Export your file

Once you choose your armor and position, export the file. (shown in the video above)

Save it as an .obj file and this is what you will use for printing.

You can open this file in Photoshop to check it. Don’t forget it will be printed in one colour (a grey or white is good) and then you’ll prime and paint it. (or just keep it as it is!) But don’t worry too much about the armor choice in the model as many things, like the leg patterns will need to be painted.

Viewing your character in 3D

One of my characters, exported from wow model viewer, looking at it in photoshop 3D viewer.

If you don’t have Photoshop – then you can also view it in Blender – which is open source and free. You can also use Blender to fix any issues with your models.

My WOW Character was imported into photoshop for viewing.

Slice it!

You then need to create the printing slices for the model. This is then exported for your printer. Lychee slicer was used.

Then you wait many many hours for your print. It’s a slow but exciting process!

A WOW character just off the resin printer. The cape and belt area needed to be made wider as it was as thin as cloth.The character with all the supports after printing. The supports will need to be removed. This is done carefully with tools and then any bits left are sanded down. It is then placed under UV lights to cure. Typically the character is placed in one side and then turned over.

We did about 90s on each side or so. The models do feel quite delicate so you do need to be careful not to drop them! (or don’t let your cat swipe it off your table as it will break oops)

The finished character, from screen to home in a day. This one has been sanded and painted with a base coat. Then a small thread was added and glued to it to provide the string for the bow.

Let me know if you’ve managed to get wow model viewer working. Or let me know what you’ve printed! Excited to see!

Sanded slightly and sprayed with a base coat so they can be painted with model paints.

Top 30 3D printed Halloween costumes, accessories and decorations

3D printed costumes and accessories

Warhammer Space Marine mask 40,000

masks based on computer and board games, one of which is a scary 3D-printed Chaos Space Marine Mask. The scarred face of a Warhammer 40,000 character is sure to scare your friends. nine0007

Gambody offers to purchase the 3D model online for $14.99, a project optimized to minimize 3D printing errors. The mask has holes for the eyes, as well as for breathing - in the area of the nose and mouth. It looks good enough on its own, but those who wish can also color it to match their costume. It is recommended to print the Space Marine mask at a layer height of 0.1 mm and with an infill of 20%. The dimensions of the mask are 163x190x97 mm, it will take from one and a half to three days and about 27 meters of material to produce it. The mask in the photographs was made using stereolithography technology, the result on a 3D printer using the FDM / FFF method may look different. nine0007

Pudge Butcher Mask from DOTA 2

Another 3D printed mask from Gambody, this time the character is Pudge the butcher from the online game DOTA 2. don't shudder. The 3D-printed mask was created using Autodesk Maya and is easy to put on by attaching an elastic band or cord to the two side holes.

Like the Space Marine mask, the Pudge mask 3D printable model can be purchased for 14.99 dollars. Designers recommend printing it at a layer height of 0.1 mm and with an inner material filling of 20%. With these settings, 3D printing can take up to three days, so it's best to start preparing for Halloween in advance.

DOTA 2 DOOM Mask

If the previous two masks don't seem scary enough for Halloween, Gambody has another suggestion - the terrifying mask of DOOM, the infernal character of DOTA 2. The complex mask is made up of two fragments - the front part and the likeness of a helmet with horns attached to it. These two pieces are made up of 11 3D printed parts designed with Autodesk Maya. nine0007

Despite its complexity, the DOOM mask also costs $14.99. However, due to the many additional details, it can take up to ten days to 3D print a complete mask - with the same settings as other masks (0.1 mm layer height, 20% infill). To save time, you can print a simplified version of the mask without the horns.

BattleTech Atlas BattleMech Mask

Gambody's latest mask for this Halloween is the Atlas BattleMech from the popular BattleTech franchise. Gambody recently presented a whole series of 3D models of combat mechs - users liked them so much that it was decided to create a mask with the same character. The 3D printed mask consists of two separate parts that are easy to connect. Like other masks, this model has been thoroughly tested in terms of 3D printing quality. It will take about 3 days and about 43 meters of material to create the mask. Of course, the finished mask can be processed and painted as desired. nine0007

Glowing Mace

This 3D printed glowing mace can be a great addition to your Halloween costume. The model was designed by Ruiz Brothers of Adafruit and requires some 3D printing and assembly skills to make, but the end result is well worth the effort. The mace consists of 28 3D printed parts and fairly simple electronic components (among them Adafruit Trinket, a 2200 mAh battery and a NeoPixel Jewel). nine0007

To make the mace look as realistic as possible, the creators used several 3D printing materials such as wood and steel. In any case, depending on the budget, you can choose other materials. The authors have published for everyone a detailed guide to making a mace. For safety reasons, it's important to note that despite the mace's menacing appearance, it's just a costume accessory and can't cause significant damage.

Craftsman Felix Jr's hammer with sound effects

In addition to the glowing mace, Ruiz Brothers introduced several other fun and technical Halloween costume accessories, including Craftsman Felix Jr's hammer from Disney's 2012 Ralph. The 3D-printed hammer houses an Adafruit Audio FX Mini sound card, amplifier and speaker to turn it into a sound effects accessory.

To create the same hammer, as shown by the authors, you will need additional tools and parts, but with proper preparation, the project will not seem too complicated. As for the sound effect, this is WAV or OGG audio (download the hammer sound from the Ruiz Brothers page) uploaded to the Adafruit sound card. nine0007

The same principle of sound effects can be used for other projects - the developers have provided a detailed guide to the creation of Master Felix Jr.'s hammer.

Unicorn Horn with LED Lights

A simple but interesting costume accessory can be a glowing unicorn horn from Ruiz Brothers from Adafruit. It's especially easy to make, with a 3D-printed horn-shaped case, an LED, a switch, and a battery. The horn itself can be 3D printed with one or two printheads, with the makers recommending the use of a flexible thermoplastic for ease of assembly. Obviously, the best choice would be a transparent material through which the light will pass. nine0007

The printed horn is easy to attach to a headdress, hood or even a headband using the special holes. Before this, an LED must be installed on the base - therefore, the place of fixing must be chosen carefully. On the fabric you need to cut a hole into which the LED will be inserted, and then fix it. The switch can be placed anywhere. In addition, there is also a tutorial on how to create a more complex glowing unicorn horn with NeoPixels and a GEMMA microcontroller.

Star Wars accessories

The Star Wars theme is always a hit on Halloween - this year is likely to see even more such costumes thanks to the release of the newest movie in the franchise. A few 3D printed accessories can help you impress.

One of them is a full size 3D printed helmet inspired by the character Kylo Ren. Although the author notes that the mask is not 100% accurate, its details are very similar to Kylo Ren's intimidating mask - it could be a great accessory for Halloween this year. The helmet should fit most people, but it can of course be made larger or smaller as needed. nine0007

Staying on the dark side of the force, you can also 3D print an impressive stormtrooper helmet. It is made up of several parts that can be made on a personal 3D printer. To create and assemble a helmet, of course, you need to be patient - its dimensions are 24 cm wide and 19 cm long. Of course, the parts printed on a 3D printer will need to be further processed, but judging by the popularity among Thingiverse users, this is a fairly successful model.

Another interesting accessory is a realistic 3D printed Sith lightsaber handle. Sean Charlesworth of Charlesworth Dynamics was the author of the design of an extremely detailed handle with the most accurate internal workings. The 3D printable files can be downloaded for free on Pinshape, and the author sells several pre-printed sets on Etsy for $40. This accessory is only a handle, without the sword itself, but you can see the light inside. The creator also provided detailed assembly instructions. Charlesworth printed the details of the pen on a Form 2 3D printer using the stereolithography method, but the files are also suitable for FDM technology. nine0007

Wolverine's Claws

Ahead of the release of the new X-Men Wolverine movie Logan, this character could be a good choice for a Halloween costume - and his image is impossible without powerful claws. The 3D printed claws from Le Fab Shop have a telescoping mechanism that makes them easy to extend and retract. Wolverine's 3D-printed claws are designed to be 3D printed as a single unit and can then be further polished. In addition, they can be printed in any color material, since the finished claws can be coated with silver paint for maximum realism. 3D print settings - 0.2mm resolution and 10% infill, 3D printable files available for free. nine0007

Also worth noting is the addition of Wolverine's claws for children's prosthetic hands - this model was developed by AxisLab for the Cyborg Beast's 3D printed prosthetic hand, and they can be easily connected together. Wolverine's simple claws make a great accessory for a prosthetic kid who wants to dress up as the character for Halloween.

Rick and Morty accessories

Rick and Morty from the animated series of the same name can become one of the most popular pair costumes for this Halloween. In addition to the white lab coat and blue wig, realistic 3D printed accessories may be required to complete the look. nine0007

First of all, Rick Sanchez's costume is unimaginable without his trusty portal gun - a similar one can be printed on a 3D printer. Designed by Mike Moss, the model features not only a green light bulb, but also a switch, screen, and sound effects. To create such a gun, you will need quite a lot of parts, including an Arduino Pro Mini, a sound card, a joystick, LEDs, a lithium-ion battery, a speaker, and much more. However, those who put the time and effort into 3D printing and assembling the Portal Gun from Moss's model and instructions will surely end up with the ultimate Rick suit. As a simpler option, another non-working model of a 3D printed portal gun without electronic components will do. nine0007

Another interesting accessory can be a 3D-printed two-piece magnetic Council of Ricks badge. In addition, many more accessories based on the popular animated series are available for fans of 3D printing.

Demon Child

To really scare people on Halloween, you need to get serious. One example is the 3D-printed Demon Baby by Thingiverse user Taikonaught, perfect for pregnant women. The details are simply placed under a tight-fitting tank top, giving the impression that a demonic child is trying to get out of the womb. The three parts of the costume are the child's face and hands and can be printed without support elements with a resolution of 0.3 mm and 20% infill. Taikonaught printed these accessories on an Ultimaker 2 3D printer.

Chest-bursting alien

A 3D-printed chest-bursting monster based on the 1979 movie Alien can be a scary Halloween accessory. An amazingly detailed monster grimace model can be downloaded from Thingiverse. Holes are provided in the base to sew the Alien to a T-shirt or to a ribbon on the chest. You can print a monster on a 3D printer without supporting elements, and then process and color it as you wish - for an example, you should look at the work of users who have already made this accessory. The author of the model, a user under the nickname Geoff.W, also presented the second version - a completely out of the Alien's chest. This option is suitable for those who do not want to spend the entire Halloween party with an Alien attached to their chest. nine0007

Brain Hat

This 3D printed accessory is both scary and simple - it can be worn with normal clothes or with a ghost costume, as suggested by the author. This 3D-printed brain hat was introduced by Thingiverse user romroig, and it's arguably one of the best simple Halloween accessories.

The 3D print model is just one STL file, and the dimensions can be changed depending on who the accessory is intended for. The author even advises to print several layers of the base to try on the hat before printing it completely. Thus, you can make sure that the accessory will fit perfectly in size for adults, children or even pets. On the sides of the 3D model, there are small holes for a cord or ribbon to, if desired, secure a hat with a brain on the head. nine0007

To save time, you can print the brain hat in pink material, but the best effect can be achieved by coloring the finished model, as romroig did. The cap can be printed without supporting elements, with a resolution of 0.2 mm and without padding.

3D Printed Decorations

Twitchy Body Bag

For fans of 3D printing and dark humor, Thingiverse user Nick Rusen has published files for 3D printing of a twitchy body bag. It is enough to close the device with motors with black material and hang it on a tree to get the full feeling that a person is trying to get out of the bag. Rosen plans to publish a tutorial on how to make this spooky decoration on Instructables and has already released a video showing the creation in action. nine0007

The 3D printed twitchy body bag was inspired by a servo block from Thingiverse user Joel Hackett. The model consists of eight vertebral discs, a servomotor and two servo blocks - two Futaba S3004 servos are responsible for the movement. In addition, a few more details are required. The author recommends printing with supporting elements, 0.2 mm resolution and 25% infill.

Skull Lamp

A more relaxed take on Halloween decor is the Victorian skull lamp from MakerBot. Such a detail will be a great addition to a costume party - the body of the lamp looks like metal, and instead of a candle, there is a glowing green skull inside. Ashley Markowitz of MakerBot used Rhino and ZBrush to create the project. To create such a lamp, you will need to print five fragments with a resolution of approximately 0.2 mm and 5% infill - glue is required for assembly. In addition, those who wish can order a ready-made version directly on the Thingiverse website. nine0007

Skulls

As for skulls, the assortment of such decorations is, as usual, quite wide. Examples include a 3D printed skull inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, an extremely detailed skull from SkullWorks, and a box of Boneheads from 3DKitBash (with a hideous brain included). For a fun Halloween game, you can use the skull set, which can be dressed up in different looks.

3DKitBash's Boneheads box is especially easy to make as it prints as one piece. You can fill it with candy or a 3D-printed creepy brain that fits perfectly in the skull. Another interesting model, the skull play set, comes with 3D printed accessories such as mustaches, eye patches and roses. nine0007

Pumpkins and Jack O'Lanterns

It's impossible to imagine Halloween without a pumpkin, but thanks to technology, you can no longer get dirty by carving a crooked grin on a real vegetable. Instead, you can try to print a pumpkin on a 3D printer - such a lamp will not go out, and next year it can be used again. There are several options for 3D printing pumpkins - Kitronic has already introduced a damn good pumpkin (as well as a bat and a skeleton), besides this, there are stylish models from David Hageman, a 3D print enthusiast from Germany, and tiny "jack-o-lanterns" from 3Dmakerspace. Hageman presented nine 3D printable pumpkins that can be connected to each other. To make them glow, there is a hole for LEDs at the bottom of the pumpkin. Models from 3Dmakerspace are compatible with LED lights from IKEA, which makes the assembly process even easier. nine0007

Ghosts

White or translucent 3D printable material makes great ghost decorations. Brooklyn-based 3D printer manufacturer gCreate has unveiled an adorable, huggable ghost that features a Microsoft witch hat. If that's too cute for you, Murray Clark offers a quivering 3D printed ghost. These embellishments are printed as a single piece and the spring inside makes them shake from side to side. The author presented two versions of ghosts, with and without arms, but both models are mostly hollow, so very little material for 3D printing is required to create them. Developers Adafruit have also unveiled a ghost decoration inspired by the ghosts from Super Mario Bros. This 3D printed model called Boo is also hollow inside, so you can put candies in it too. nine0007

Bats

Despite their amazing qualities and cute appearance (up close), bats still scare people in vampire stories and remain a classic Halloween theme. There are several different 3D printable bat models on the internet, but one of the best options is YEG 3D Printing's Vampire Mouse created with ZBrush. There are several holes in the back of the model so that it can be hung straight, upside down, flat and in other ways. Decorate your home for Halloween by 3D printing mice and then using push pins and string. The model is printed as a single unit, ideally with supporting elements, 0.25 mm resolution and 6% infill. The "night mouse" model is more anatomically realistic, while the "ghost mouse", printed in translucent white material, is a frightening flying ghost. nine0007

Candlestick and bowl with cobwebs

The spider is another animal associated with scary stories, which is why it was given due attention on Halloween. One option for 3D printing is an LED candle holder from Briton Mark Durbin. Printed in translucent material, this candle holder can be a great porch decoration, while the tiny spiders can be printed separately and attached for the ultimate intimidating effect. It is important to remember that the candle holder can only be used with LED candles, as real ones will melt the plastic. nine0007

Another option from Durbin is a 3D printed bowl that is not decorated with cobwebs, but consists entirely of it. You can put spider toys, candy, or any other large item in the bowl that won't fall out of the holes. The base of the bowl is designed in such a way that the smallest items do not fall out of it. In addition, by turning the bowl over, you can get a spooky headdress.

Ghost Table

A 3D printed ghost table that lights up and makes sounds when people pass by can also help create a spooky atmosphere at a Halloween party. The model was created by Thingiverse user Mike Rigsby and his wife Annelle. The table consists of three 3D printed glowing legs and a small glass top, of course not made using 3D printing. To design the legs, Rigsby scanned a ghost figurine his wife had created and scaled up the model in Tinkercad. Each leg is printed in four parts, and it will take approximately 50 hours and 1.2 kg of material to create the entire table. In addition, the legs must be printed with support elements, 0.3 mm resolution, and 10% infill. nine0007

Figuratively speaking, in order to breathe life into the table, you will need a few additional parts, among which are the Arduino UNO and Genuino UNO, a relay and an LED. Assembling the table is quite simple - the developers also provided detailed instructions.

Witch's Cauldron

The Spooky Witch's Cauldron is a halloween party staple, thankfully it can now be 3D printed. An example of such a model is a fairly simple boiler published by Thingiverse user Makies. The original design is relatively small, but in another version it was scaled up by 400% and slightly edited to make the 3D printing process easier. You can put sweets in the cauldron or install a smoke machine to turn it into an intimidating decoration - in any case, it will be a great addition to the holiday. nine0007

There is an even creepier version of the witch's cauldron, remade from an ashtray with snakes. You can also put sweets in it, and the cauldron itself can be painted as desired.

Purple People Eater Bell

A more interesting Halloween project could be a 3D printed Purple People Eater bell made by Adafruit's Ruiz Brothers with Philip Burges. The inspiration for this project was a classic children's song - it may be more cute than scary, but it really is a worthwhile decoration. The bell consists of several parts, including an Adafruit 1.44” TFT display, Teensy, Adafruit Lipoly Backpack, a lithium polymer battery, purple LEDs, a button, several 3D printed parts, and other components. The bell has electronic components such as a moving eye (it also doubles as a bell button), so programming skills will certainly come in handy to create it. nine0007

As for the 3D printed parts, they are specially designed to be compatible with other components, so if the electronic components are changed, the parts will also need to be slightly edited before 3D printing. Ruiz Brothers recommend using a few different materials, like making the wings out of NinjaFlex, the horn out of GlowFill, and everything else out of purple PLA plastic. Of course, the materials can always be changed at will.

In addition to the guidelines, Adafruit has published a detailed step-by-step guide to making a 3D printed bell in the shape of a Purple Man Eater. nine0007

Movable Assembly Skeleton

The 3D printed assembly skeleton designed by David Hageman is clearly a hit on Thingiverse with over 35 users already making the model and it has a lot of positive reviews. The movable skeleton, which can be assembled without glue, ropes or screws, is a great combination of fun and intimidation, and can certainly be a great Halloween decoration.

The skeleton consists of several 3D-printed parts that are assembled by snapping together built-in fasteners. Hageman recommends printing the ABS skeleton with a resolution of at least 0.2 mm. The submitted STL files should already be ready for 3D printing, as the author has optimized them for maximum mount stability. Hageman also published a simple graphical guide for assembling the skeleton.

The skeleton figurine can be seated, hung, turned into a movable doll or fixed in an upright position. Like other models, if desired, it can also be painted. nine0007

Tombstones

Halloween is also All Saints' Eve, when the dead are remembered. There are many ways to remember, but 3D printed tombstones are one of the unusual ways to emphasize the transience of human life.

Thingiverse user Trey Snyder has posted a 3D printable model of his favorite tombstone from Disney's Haunted House. The inscription on the tombstone reads: "Here lies the good old Fred, a huge stone fell on his head." MakerBot has also unveiled several tombstones that can be resized if needed before 3D printing. Tombstones from Snyder are recommended to be printed with supporting elements, 0.2 mm resolution and 15% infill. Models from MakerBot are printed with 10% infill. nine0007

Trick or Treat Sign and Cookie Molds

If not enough kids begged for candy last Halloween, you can now invite them with a 3D printed trick or treat sign. treat). Designer Dan Porter designed the plaque for 3D Systems' Cube 2 3D printer, but it can be resized to suit your needs.

Having decided to attract the attention of candy hunters, you need to prepare for their arrival - what could be better than homemade cookies? Designer OogiMe proposes to 3D print a cookie cutter in the form of candy wrappers measuring approximately 8. 5 cm - each mold will require only 11 grams of material to make. The author recommends printing forms with a resolution of 0.2 mm and 10% infill. nine0007

Hand trap

Those who don't want to just part with Halloween sweets can 3D print a hand trap. The coffin-shaped candy bowl is guarded by a bloody severed hand, which can be printed from a flexible material - it is controlled by tensioning the parts at the bottom of the coffin. Perfect to scare the candy hunters!

Designer Gyrobot chose to print the coffin in MakerBot Translucent Purple, the blood in MakerBot Translucent Red, and the hand in Filaflex. Of course, any similar materials will do. The trap consists of ten parts and six 3D printing STL files. The largest part of the trap, the coffin itself, can be 3D printed with a minimum printable area of 195 x 160 x 50 mm. The controls will require a fishing line, cord, or something similar.

Glowing Brain

The completely anatomically correct model of the brain was not originally intended as a Halloween decoration, but it will undoubtedly fulfill this role perfectly - it can be placed in a dark room or on a porch. Each of the hemispheres of the brain can be printed on a 3D printer from a transparent material, and three LEDs of any color are used for illumination. Other parts include wires, batteries and a switch. nine0007

A simpler and specially designed for Halloween version of the brain - a 3D printed head of Frankenstein's monster, along with a brain that can be taken out. You can put sweets, toys or just car keys in an empty head. The author of Yeg 3D advises printing with a resolution of 0.25 mm and infill of 7-8%.

Fearful Candelabra

Another model from the experts at MakerBot is the 3D printed Chandelier of Fear, an eerie and beautiful ceiling lamp that can be hung with a 3D printed circuit printer. Small decorative details such as tiny pumpkins and dripping wax can be printed in different colors or dyed. In addition, the pumpkins can then be detached and the candelabra can be used as a stand-alone decoration after Halloween. nine0007

This giant 3D printed chandelier comes in 13 parts that require no support to print (chain only). All fragments are printed with a resolution of 0.2 mm. The model is popular in the Thingiverse community and has been downloaded over 5,000 times.

Toothy Venus Box

The 3D printed Venus Box got its name from its resemblance to the carnivorous plant Venus flytrap. It can be used all year round, but the 3D printed teeth make it much creepier. For sharp teeth, author Marcin Jedinak recommends printing at 0.2mm resolution and 33% infill. For the box itself, it will be enough to set the filling to 20%. The model can be assembled without glue, and the four-door mechanism is a truly amazing piece of work. nine0007

Bonus: Cat Armor

Not strictly speaking a decoration or costume, but 3D printed cat armor is a really fun way to get the whole family involved in Halloween celebrations. The Print That Thing armor was first unveiled a year ago when designer Jwall decided his cat Bobo could also enjoy Halloween. You need to print a costume for a pet with supporting elements, a resolution of 0. 1-0.4 mm and a filling of 5-15%. nine0007
