Stitched Skull Candy w/Bone Handle 3 Bowl Sizes

Everybody knows the face. Big empty eyes, a pinhole nose, and that long stitched grin running ear to ear — the lanky skeleton in the pinstripe suit who found Christmas and couldn't leave it alone. This is his head, hollowed out and put to work: a trick-or-treat basket that hangs from a real printed femur on black rope, and three sizes of candy bowl for the ones handing candy out instead of collecting it. One model, four print profiles, no supports on any of them. 🦴 Four profiles, one head. The basket, the 250 mm bowl, the 175 mm bowl and the 150 mm dish are the same sculpt at four scales. Only the basket adds the rope holes and the femur handle — everything else is identical geometry, so a face that reads well at 250 mm reads exactly the same at 150. Features A candy pail you actually want to carry. 200 mm skull, two black macramé cords, and a printed femur across the top. It hangs at a kid's side and holds a serious haul. The femur is the handle, not a decoration. Knots seat into a groove at each end of the bone so the cord can't creep, and the bone is thick enough through the shaft to grip like a bat. Fuzzy skin does the heavy lifting. Turn it on for the outer wall and the whole head comes off the plate looking like painted plaster instead of a 3D print. No sanding, no primer, no filler. Recessed eyes, nose and stitches. They're sunk into the surface, so you can either color-change them in the AMS or brush a black paint pen along the channel and wipe the excess off the fuzzy skin. Both look right. No supports anywhere, on any profile. Prints base-down with the opening up. The eye sockets are shallow enough to self-support and the rim tucks inward, which is the direction printers like. Four sizes covers the whole night. 250 mm for the porch bucket, 175 mm for the coffee table, 150 mm for a desk, 200 mm on a rope for the door-to-door work. Bowls hold candy, but they don't only hold candy. The 150 keeps keys and change by the door all year. Nobody's ever complained about it in March.

It needs a 250 × 250 mm bed and about 225 mm of Z. That's a K2 Plus, an H2D, a P1S/X1C with the skirt turned off, or anything 300 mm-plus. On a 220 mm machine (K1, Ender 3, A1 Mini is right out) start with profile 3 or 4 — the face is identical, just smaller. Print Settings SettingValueOrientationBase flat on the plate, opening up.

It hides layer lines, kills the shine, and gives the skull that dry cast-plaster surface the character has on screen. It also means you never have to sand a compound curve, which is a job nobody enjoys twice.

You don't need one. Print the whole thing in ivory, then run a black acrylic paint pen down the recessed eyes, nose and stitch line. The channels hold the ink and the fuzzy skin around them wipes clean with a damp cloth. The photos here were finished exactly that way. If you do have an AMS, be aware fuzzy skin roughens the black details too — some people love that, some turn fuzzy skin off for the last few layers of the face. Basket Assembly (profile 1 only) Five minutes, no glue, no hardware. Print the skull and the femur. Cut two pieces of black macramé cord, about 25 cm each. Thread one end of a cord through a rim hole from the outside in, and tie a chunky knot on the inside of the bowl. Repeat with the second cord on the opposite hole. Tie the free ends into the groove at each end of the femur. Two or three wraps and a knot — the groove is there to keep the knot from sliding toward the middle. Pull it up by the bone and even the two cords out before you set the final knots. Candy is heavier than it looks. 🪢 Cord, not string. 3–4 mm braided macramé cotton is the right stuff — soft in the hand, thick enough not to bite, and it knots without slipping. Paracord works and looks a bit more tactical. Fishing line, embroidery floss and hot glue all end the same way: candy on a driveway. Tips & Tricks Ivory, not white. Pure white reads as plastic under a porch light. Ivory reads as bone. Fuzzy skin on the outer wall only. Leave the inside smooth — candy doesn't need texture and it prints faster. Paint pen beats masking. The recesses are cut deep enough to guide the tip. Go slowly, let it dry, then wipe any overshoot off the fuzzy skin. Sizing down, not up. The stitch line is the finest feature on the model. Below about 130 mm it starts to close up on a 0.4 nozzle — if you want a tiny one, drop to a 0.2 nozzle. Print the femur alongside the skull on the big-bowl profiles if you want a spare. It's small and it's the piece kids manage to lose. PETG for outdoors. An ivory PLA bowl left on a sunny Texas porch in October is a science experiment, not a decoration. Weight the 250 if it's outside. A handful of gravel or a bag of sand in the bottom before the candy goes in, and the wind stops being a factor.
