|
## Challenge: Halloween Prints
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For October, members brought in Halloween prints ranging from costume props and wearables to skeletons and lit jack-o'-lanterns.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### The focus: Spooky builds and print quality
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Entries covered four main areas:
|
||
|
|
- **Costume props and wearables.** Helmets, masks, cosplay gear, badges, and prop replicas.
|
||
|
|
- **Spooky decor.** Skulls, spiderwebs, ghosts, LED tea light pumpkins, and wall hangings.
|
||
|
|
- **Articulated and mechanical prints.** Print-in-place bats, articulated skeletons, and moving decorations.
|
||
|
|
- **Specialty materials.** Glow-in-the-dark filament, translucent or color-changing materials, and multi-color HueForge art.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
