Pumpkin Candle Holder
Make the perfect centerpiece with these pumpkin candle holders! The dripping wax from the candles makes these squashes look even cooler. Keep in mind that some candles may not fit, so check the model before you buy the candles or resize it based on the candles you have at home.
We recommend printing these squashes in PETG or your favorite heat-resistant plastic. As with all candle holders, don’t leave them unattended while lit.

Minecraft Winking Pumpkin
What’s autumn without jack-o-lanterns? Move your festivities outside of your Minecraft world with this moving pumpkin! Consisting of several parts, this is a perfect weekend project for makers who are want to get into the fall spirit.
Although the sliced files are included, the designer suggests adding supports in Meshmixer. Using a lever, you’ll be able to move the lid of the pumpkin. Instructions on how to put the parts together are on the model page. The model was printed in PETG, though you should be able to use PLA or ABS.

Planter
Give your plants a festive home with this Halloween planter. This one has jack-o-lanterns and cats on the sides. Perfect for your succulents or other small plants, this creator has made several other pot designs so check them out if you’d like more.
These pots don’t have drain holes, so don’t leave them in the rain or the plant might drown. As part of post-processing, you can drill a hole or two in the bottom, or modify the design to include them. This pot and others like it can be printed in any material you like.

Ghost Tea Light Holder
Give your place some spooky vibes with this ghost tea light holder. The maker printed it in white PLA and used an electric tea light candle. Thanks to its thin walls, the whole body glows! You could also go for a transparent or glow-in-the-dark filament for a similarly cool effect.
This ghost features thin walls so we recommend using an extra perimeter to keep the model from collapsing while printing.

Ghost Desk Toy
Spook out your desk mates with this floating ghost! This model was designed in SolidWorks and uses two 3 x 6 mm neodymium magnets to “float”. Simply print the pieces, glue the magnets to the posts, and it’s ready to spook your office mates.
The designer recommends printing with two perimeters and 10% infill so it’s easier for the ghost to float. The ghost’s arms may prove to be a problem for some printers, so keep your cooling in mind while slicing this model, and don’t be afraid to use supports where needed!

Leaves
Nothing says fall more than leaves! Whether they are changing color or crunching underfoot, they are a signal that autumn is underway. Check out all these awesome leaf-inspired prints!
Magnet
Amp-leaf-y your autumn mood with leaf magnets! Simply print the model, stick a magnet to the back, and you’re ready for fall.
For this project, we recommend using a strong enough magnet so it doesn’t slide off of your fridge and onto the floor.

Vase
Twist-up your decor with this maple vase! This three-part model is an awesome way to hold flowers during the autumn season. Print the vase in one color, rainbow filament, or in multiple colors for a special look.
This model was intended to be scaled up so the tolerances are a bit tight. There’s a small surface area for each section, so use a generous brim.

Napkin Holder

Cup
Spice up your autumn dinners with this leaf cup. It’s recommended more as a decorative item than a practical one. Printing in metal filaments would look nice!
If you do want to use this item like a cup, besides the special tips on printing watertight models, know that bacteria can grow in the groves of the layer lines.
Who made it? 3ernharD
Who printed it? There are four Makes and two Remixes of this cup.

Window Decals
Show your neighbors that you’re ready for fall with these window decals! These window decals were printed with NinjaFlex, so for best results, print these window clings with similar material; it’s the flexible material that makes it stick properly.
The designer recommends printing in 1- or 2-mm thickness and wetting the window before pasting the designs on. However, if your printer doesn’t do well with flexible filaments, you can always print with another material and use some double-sided sticky tape to stick them to your windows.

Thanksgiving
Everyone’s favorite holiday is just around the corner! With all the good food and time with family, make it even better with some cool 3D printed accessories.
Turkey Coaster
Gobble up your drink with this turkey drink coaster! There’s both a round and a twelve-sided version to choose from.
This is a two-color print, so you’ll have to allow some time to switch the filament. Many slicers either have an option to switch the color or have a plug-in to enable it. Otherwise, if your printer can handle dual extrusion, that’s likely an easier option.

Star Wars Turkeys
Bring the force to dinner with these Star Wars turkeys! These multicolor turkeys are perfect for adding an Imperial feel to your table. There are 12 color changes so staying near the printer is a good idea while it’s printing or using the MMU upgrade is advised. These turkeys are remixed from gelap’s Darth Turkey and Storm Turkey.
This model includes pre-sliced models but we recommend that you slice them yourself. Each color change is at a different layer height so it might take a while to set up the changes perfectly. If you’re having adhesion issues, the designer suggests using a brim.

Turkey Earrings
These turkey earrings are the perfect fashion accessory for your Thanksgiving dinner or any time this fall. The designer remixed them from a roast turkey design.
You’ll need to purchase earring hooks and they should be easy to attach. Rather than swapping out filament, the maker painted them for an impressive Thanksgiving effect. It’s recommended to print with a raft since the prints are relatively small.
