Phantom Pumpkin Lantern

Phantom Pumpkin Lantern Tealight Holder

Add a little spooky light to your Halloween display with this ghostly pumpkin lantern. The model holds two LED tealights—one inside the pumpkin and another beneath the ghost—creating a warm glow through the carved details.

Both STL and 3MF files are included, allowing you to use your preferred slicer or start with the prepared multicolor files.

Assembly

This model is printed in multiple pieces and requires some assembly.

The tealight holders use a twist-lock design, making the lights easy to install and remove.

Glue the ghost securely to the rocky base. Glue the pumpkin to the ghost’s hand. The ghost and pumpkin may sit in position without glue, but this is not recommended. Gluing them will create a much stronger and more reliable finished display.

Test-fit every piece before applying glue.

An Easier Way to Color the Ghost _No AMS Required this way_ For a faster print, I recommend printing the ghost in a single color and coloring the four stitches with a permanent marker such as a Sharpie. This saves a considerable amount of printing time and still produces a great-looking result.

Recommended Print Settings Layer height: 0.20 mm Nozzle: 0.4 mm Infill: 15–20% Walls: 3 Material: PLA Supports: Required Support type: Tree supports

The ghost base and pumpkin need only minimal tree supports in critical areas.

The ghost’s separate arm requires full tree support. When slicing the arm, make sure “Critical Areas Only” is turned off so the entire arm receives the support it needs.

Support requirements can vary slightly depending on your printer, orientation, and slicer settings, so always preview the supported areas before starting the print.

Important Safety Note Use battery-powered LED tealights only. Do not use real candles or open flames with this model.

Once assembled and illuminated, this ghostly pumpkin makes a fun Halloween display for a shelf, desk, mantel, or entryway.
