Hey there, my favourite people!

Maybe you're celebrating Halloween!  Maybe you just like ghosts - who doesn't, right?!  

These little ghostlings have a secret - they're actually hollow, and the base on which they sit is effectively a lid, and unscrews to reveal... well, whatever you happen to put in there.  Candy, treasure, smaller ghosts... the options are endless...


Printing Tips

This is another easy print - no supports needed and all the angles are friendly.  

The ghost itself prints right-way up, as does the base, and the eyes print flat on their backs.  Note that you might want to use a raft for the eyes since they're so tiny and might challenge your bed adhesion.  But then again, they take no time to print anyway, so it's not a huge risk :)


Print Dimensions

The Marshmallow Ghost occupies 52mm x 52mm on the print bed and is 64mm tall.

The base occupies 60mm x 59mm on the bed and is 10mm tall.

The eyes, well, those are tiny :)

Further Thoughts

It turns out that if you scale the Marshmallow Ghost to about 120% it'll fit an LED tealight quite nicely...


Happy printing!

I'm so excited to print a few of these 🤩

These are next up on my printer once I finish this steampunk egg. FYI - Timer led tea lights are perfect for this. When you turn them on, they stay on for 6 hours, off for 18, and repeats.

They are so cute, need to dig out my glow in the dark filament.

These look amazing!

Printing those right now with clear Prusament PETG and putting my timer led tea lights in 😁 Some glow in the dark will follow. Will be awesome when the led light turns of and it glows red 😉 Do you think it would print without infill? I think the most critical part to print without infill would be the „head“ 🤔

I just printed one at 120% without infill and it came out perfect.

Am I the only one thinking salt and pepper shakers?

I love the print... with my fan shroud, it even sounds spooky while printing...(theres a slight whistling as it gets toward the top) :)

alternate the colors to designate what you're about to shake?

I loved this print and it gave me two ideas: 1) An alternate base that has a recessed center. This would allow the tea light to sit lower and light up more of the ghost. 2) A christmas tree version. Base could be round (tree trunk) and tree could be wider than the “trunk”.
