Pumpkin Ghost Halloween Bucket

UPDATED V2:

• Reworked bottom shape to improve external print quality (no more steep overhangs!)
• Internal capacity increased 20% by removing bulky walls

This is a pretty straightforward print! No supports are needed, except for under the clips at the ends of the handle. Once these are removed, the handle will clip into the receptacles added behind the “arms” of the container. The lid can go on in any orientation.

At 100% scale (STL files) the v2 container has an internal capacity of ~2.4L. Scaling this down to 90% (3MF file) yields about 1.75L, and 80% about 1.2L.

The 3MF file features a few personal optimisations that I used to print the one in the photos:

• All files packed together as tight as possible
• 90% scale (because I don't want my kids bringing home too many sweets)
• 10% infill (faster to print, lighter to carry)
• 20% infill modifiers under the eyes (to support them better)
• Inside bottom painted orange to minimise colour changes and speed up printing

I used the following PLA filaments, PETG would be another great choice:

• Bambu Basic PLA - Orange
• Bambu Sparkle PLA - Onyx Black
• Polymaker PolyTerra PLA - Matte White
• Polymaker PolyLite PLA - Silk Green
