BooBoo Balloon

BooBoo Balloon is a playful little ghost carrying a red balloon, combining a cute, flowing design with just a hint of something more… suspicious. Perfect for a Halloween display, spooky desk buddy or part of a larger seasonal setup, he brings a fun mix of cute and creepy without taking the scares too seriously. Adorable enough to keep around, suspicious enough to keep an eye on. Printing Tips \ Assembly Instructions - The model is split into three parts: the main body, balloon and balloon stick. The main body and balloon stick were printed using Ivory White PLA Matte, with Red PLA Basic used for the balloon. To simplify the colour workflow, I chose to finish the eyes by hand rather than adding additional filament changes. Black acrylic paint was applied to the recessed eye details, creating the strong contrast seen on the finished model. This helped reduce filament changes and keep the overall printing time shorter while still achieving the distinctive red, white and black colour scheme.

- Before final assembly, I’d recommend test-fitting all three pieces to make sure everything sits correctly. Once happy with the fit, apply a small amount of glue at the connection points to permanently secure the balloon, balloon stick and main body together. Take a little extra care when assembling and handling the balloon stick due to its relatively thin shape.

- Due to the model’s overall shape, I printed it with supports enabled. There weren’t too many supports to remove, and most came away fairly easily by hand. Patience is key during support removal - taking a little extra time, particularly around the thinner and more detailed areas, helps reduce the risk of damaging the print and gives a cleaner finished result.
