Cauldron Handbag

🪄 Cauldron Handbag

A magical, functional, and fully 3D printable Cauldron Handbag - perfect for everyday witchy vibes or Halloween adventures.

This design features a hinged lid and sturdy base, all completely 3D printed (no AMS required). The only non-printed part is the strap — you can add your own crossbody strap of your choosing, chain, or even 3D print one to match your style.
 

Assembly is simple, with a 3D printed hinge and a bit of glue required to secure parts.

⚠️ Do not scale below 50% — smaller prints will compromise the hinge function.

🎃 Doubles as a cute candy collection bucket for Halloween!

🛠️ Print Profile Notes

My provided print profile has manual supports enabled, and this setting is essential for a successful print. The supports ensure that the handles and certain sections of the cauldron base print cleanly and with proper structural integrity.

⚠️ Please do not disable manual supports, as doing so may cause the handles or hinge areas to fail during printing.

🧩 Assembly Instructions

1. Attach the Lid:
   Place the bubble lid on top of the cauldron base, aligning the hinge pieces carefully.
    

   

2. Insert the Hinge Bolt:
   Slide the bolt through the hinge. It should move freely—avoid forcing it too tight.
    

   

3. Secure the Hinge:
   Apply a small amount of glue to the cap piece and slide it onto the exposed end of the bolt to lock the hinge in place.
    

   

4. Attach the Handles:
   Add a dab of super glue into each of the cutouts on the left and right sides of the bag.
   Test the orientation of the handles before gluing - they have a specific angle that allows them to slide in best.
    

   

5. Final Check:
   Once all pieces are glued, let them cure fully before attaching your strap to the marked loops.
    

   

🧙♀️ Tip: I recommend super glue or contact cement for best adhesion and a clean finish.
