Jack o Lantern for MAKERBOT (contest) by foxxtrotalpha

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I made this Jack o Lantern for the MAKERBOT contest. It wold be a really cool project to print. Everyone who has tried carving a pumpkin has had a bad experience with carvings that just didn't come out how they wanted. With this project, you could design a cool, complicated design, or keep it simple. I made the carving with "MAKE:" cut into the pumpkin in honor or make magazine, and for an example of a carving. This could be a very fun project because you could design your own unique jack o lantern, print it, and go into further customization. You could use a RGB LED instead of a candle, or make it Arduino powered, sensing motion, and light LED's or play sounds when someone gets close to the lantern. The option are almost limitless. Also this project would help promote being GREEN because you could print one pumpkin, and reuse it year after year, unlike the generic plastic pumpkins that get trashed after use. Save the real pumpkins for pumpkin pie!
