25 Creepy Things to 3D Print for Halloween

For me, Halloween is one of the most exciting holidays of the year. It’s the only night where you can dress up like your favorite character in search of the perfect night’s out, all this while eating delicious pumpkin pie in between.

Finding awesome Halloween decorations is a challenge. Everyone buys the same things at the store… but with 3D printing you can make something unique. Here are the coolest things to 3D print in honor of Halloween.

Robots, spiders, pumpkins, why not have it all? This 3D printed-transformer-pumpkin-spider will bring a bit of diversity to your Halloween decorations.

Time to Print: 1 – 2 hours

I imagine this surrounded by plants and vegetation, with random smoke coming out of the improvised forest, while a red light is flashing behind it, every few seconds. This is an interesting Halloween decoration to have during this night of terror.

On the economical side, it’s nice to have something that brings you a bit closer to Halloween if you don’t want to go all out in your decoration spree.

It will show you the most important expression that you make when you arrive at work and when it’s time to go home for the weekend.

5. Dragon Door Knocker

Level: Expert

You should take things to a medieval level this Halloween. A dragon door knob will give an extra touch to your medieval or game of thrones theme house decoration.

7. Articulated Skeleton Couple

Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours

View on Thingiverse

From my point of view, the front of your house should be packed with dodgy characters that you should stay away from. However, a skeleton couple that shows the sign of peace can be attractive as well. People will simply adore them and I am sure that they would love to take a picture off.

8. Boo Sign Text to Scare Away the Bad Kids

Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 15 – 30 min

There’s no such thing as Halloween without at least one person that says “Boo!” to a helpless person. A sign which specifies that may be of use if you aren’t really in the mood this year. Just put some ketchup on, paint yourself white with flour, and carry this thing on you at all time. You would make the greatest silent ghost!

9. Halloween Cookie Cutters

Level: Beginner
Time to Print: 5 – 30 min

11. Pumpkin Coach

Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 1 – 3 hours

Pumpkin carving is the most exciting moment that a family can do before Halloween. Getting your hands dirty and shaping a creepy face out of a pumpkin can be fun and exciting.

12. Plague Doctor Mask

Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours+

Plague doctors were amongst the first that carried a creepy Halloween costume throughout the year. Of course there’s certain medical properties behind the costume itself, but nevertheless you wouldn’t want a guy like that to be in your home. But for one night only, you can take advantage of the situation and become the ultimate plague doctor!

13. Freddy Glove for Kids

Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 2 – 4 hours+

If you have kids, you certainly have to think about the perfect costume for your youngling.

I double dare you!

16. The Scary Doll fromthe Saw Movies

Level: Expert

Whenever I see this doll I try to stay away from any sharp corners. It takes my game face away and I would prefer to walk slowly passed it, in hopes that a timer won’t appear out of no ware, and I won’t get my foot stuck in some strange mechanism. I am sure that everyone can make the perfect 3D printed SAW game outside of their house, but they will definitely need the right doll for it!

17. The Fearsome Death

Level: Beginer
Time to Print: 1 – 4 hours

Level: Advanced
Time to Print: 3 – 5 hours+

There’s one thing that I hate most when it comes to spiders, and that’s a huge spider that guards the front entrance of any house. I do hope that I won’t encounter this anytime in my life, but if I do, I hope that it will be a 3D printed one.

20. Haunted House

If you are dressing as Death this year and you already have a scythe, why not get a skull lantern as well?
