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.

Submission requirements

  • Physical model. Brought to the October 28th, 2026 meetup.
  • Open to all makers. Original CAD designs and community models from Printables, MakerWorld, or Thangs were all eligible.
  • The story. Makers shared their slicer settings, part orientation, filament choices, and post-processing steps with the group.

Judging and prize

  • Voting. Attendees voted on their favorites based on print quality, presentation, and Halloween theme.
  • Prize. The winner took home a free spool of filament.
