# DIY 3D-Printed Pumpkins This Halloween Ornament Can Be Made and Customized At Home By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-10-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-ornament References: [makezine](http://makezine.com/projects/3d-print-spooky-pumpkin-desk-ornament/) & [thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:134066) This DIY 3D-printed Halloween ornament is a cute, spooky and child-safe light-up pumpkin. The 3D-printed design for the Halloween ornament can be downloaded from Thingiverse. It has a hard plastic shell with thinner plastic on the Jack-o-Lantern cut-out areas, so that it looks like a solid pumpkin until it's lit up from the inside. When a light is inserted within the Halloween ornament, its inner glow gives it a grinning face. The Halloween ornament can be customized with different kinds of [LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-lamp), from colorful bulbs to strobe lights. Unlike a traditional Jack-o-Lantern with a candle, it can be placed anywhere and is completely kid-friendly. Halloween is the perfect time for makers to exercise their skills, and projects centered around the holiday offer opportunities to engage DIY enthusiasts with exciting new technologies and products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.5/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized DIY:** The trend of personalized DIY projects allows individuals to create customized products according to their preferences. - **Child-safe Innovation:** The trend of child-safe innovation presents opportunities for developing products and technologies that are safe and suitable for children. - **3D Printing:** The trend of 3D printing opens up possibilities for creating intricate and unique objects with customizable features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can leverage the trend of personalized DIY to offer customizable products for interior design. - **Toy and Entertainment:** The toy and entertainment industry can explore child-safe innovations to develop new and engaging products for kids. - **3D Printing Technology:** The 3D printing technology industry can benefit from the trend of 3D printing by providing advanced printers, materials, and software for creating customized objects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Themed Fire Pit Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-carved-pumpkin.md) - [Family-Friendly Halloween Essentials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oriental-trading.md) - [Spiced 3D-Printed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-spice-latte-chocolates.md) - [DIY Monster Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-pops.md) - [3D-Printed Fidget Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jigglets.md) - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [3D Printed Solar Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zimple.md) - [Organic Paper-Like Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito.md) - [Minimalist 3D-Printed Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-lamp1.md)
