3D Printed Halloween Pencil Holder

Using tinkercad I created a dual color Jack-o-Lantern pencil, pen, or marker holder. These instructions are for single and dual color printing.

For Single Color

Not recommended for dual color

1. In Tinkercad editor start by creating a pumpkin
2. I made mine by making a low-quality 3D oval shape and duplicating it in circle and then added one in center DON'T USE HIGH QUALITY IT IS HARD TO WORK WITH AND SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO DOWNLOAD
3. Copy it
4. Shrink copy
5. copy copy
6. make second copy hole cut it into pumpkin's center
7. give it eyes by using two triangles
8. give it a mouth using a half circle then cutting out to what you want
9. cut eyes and mouth into pumpkin
10. Align small pumpkin(copy) with the large hollow pumpkin
11. group
12. duplicate that in a circle your chosen size the less pumpkins the easier it is to work with
13. Duplicate move up twist by 12.25 degrees and duplicate several times
14. added cylinder to bottom to created flat surface
15. Cut hole into it

Unfortunately dual color does not work properly with this method as pumpkin mouth gets messed up so I created instructions for anyone who wants to print in dual color as well.

For Dual color

Do not use for single color as faces will not be visible

Here are files for mine

OBJ for dual color 3d printing (I recommend you download the new version, old version uses single color design style and does not print faces correctly)

Stl for single color

Dual Color

This is probably around a 25-40 hour print in .2 mm quality and dual color. 27 hours for old version

33 hours for me

Single Color

It is probably around a 10-20 hour print in single color at .2 mm quality. around 17 hours for me

For some random reason estimates are very high for print time and extremely inaccurate
