Introduction: Cute Jack-O-Lantern in Tinkercad
In this instructable, I will show you how to make a cute jack-o-lantern in TinkerCad. I made this because it can be used as Halloween decor for anyone with a 3D printer. Enjoy!
Supplies
For this project you will need a TinkerCad account.
Step 1: The Pumpkin
To make the base of the jack-o-lantern, you need a pumpkin. To get a pumpkin, search “pumpkin” in the Shapes search bar. You may want to enlarge the pumpkin so it is easier to add the eyes and mouth.
Step 2: The Eyes
For the eyes, we will be using triangular prisms.
- Bring a prism to the workplane and adjust it to however you want the eye to look
- Position it on the pumpkin however you’d like and change it from Solid to Hole.
- For a two-eyed jack-o-lantern, duplicate the one eye and place the other eye on the pumpkin.
- Bring two more prisms to the workplane and adjust them to the same size as your eyes
- Group the pumpkin and the eyes together so that the pumpkin has carved eyes.
- Change the color of the two prisms (yellow for a glowing jack-o-lantern and black for a dark one).
Step 3: The Mouth
For the mouth, we will be using a half-cylinder.
- Bring the half cylinder to the workplane and rotate it so that the flat side is facing upwards (or leave it facing down if you want a sad jack-o-lantern).
- Duplicate the half-cylinder.
- Change the color of one of the half-cylinders (to yellow or black) and turn the other half-cylinder from Solid to Hole.
- Position the Hole half-cylinder onto the pumpkin and group the Hole and the pumpkin.
Step 4: The Jack-O-Lantern Is Complete
Congratulations! You have successfully completed making a cute jack-o-lantern in TinkerCad! If you have a 3D printer, you can use this jack-o-lantern as Halloween decor.
