This design is an entry into the TinkerCad and myminifactory Halloween Design Competition sponsored by BCN3D!!#TrickOrTreat3D @MyMiniFactory @tinkercad @bcn3dtech Do you dare take the candy from the haunted cauldron?!?!Oh yes, you must try... you must... About this design:My first simple idea turned into many late nights of designing, testing and printing.But after all that it seems to have come together. No spiders were harmed during the making of this cauldron. Well, apart from Gary, he fancies himself as a bit of a stuntman. wouldn’t listen to me would you Gary oh no, well looks who's laughing now! Base design comes with four interchangeable mist tower tops, to suit your mood or Halloween party theme!Sneaky Slippery snake!Terrible Gnashing Teeth!Predictable Putrid Pumpkin! I have added a few variations along with the main ones, what you use it up to you!I hope you enjoy using this at Halloween as much as I did designing it. Assembly and Usage:First, make sure everything is unplugged!Second, Central tower has a slit for the mist maker power cable to fit through and there is a clamp further down the tower for fastening it. The supplied grommet should fit nicely in the cauldron wall. Place the mist maker into the central tower then fill it with tap water till you reach the bottom of the cable exit hole. My print didn’t have trouble holding the water, but test it out before you put it all together. (Mist amount varies with the level of water, so experiment!) Third, Fill the cauldron with candy and place your chosen top on the tower and plug it in, mist should appear almost immediately.Four, take a piece of candy, eat it, and admire your work. Materials:PLA or ABSTransparent filament used is not essential, LED's will still show through normal filament. Mist maker from ebay:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AU-LED-Ultrasonic-Mist-Maker-Fogger-Fountain-Pond-Atomizer-Humidifier-Aquarium-/201404174510?hash=item2ee49fd0ae:g:7xcAAOSwT5tWJsgMroughly 4.6cm diameter, 27.5cm tall Candy of your choice. Wrapped preferably. Printing:Printed with support and 15-20% infill. Future Improvements:My mist make tends to shoot water straight into the air, so I will try and track down a better model to use this design with.I had plans to use a cheap glass sphere above the central tower to scatter and reflect the LED light, if you are reading this, it didn’t arrive in the post in time :(Further experimentation with the mist maker, I want more mist!! Happy Tinkering and Halloween!#TrickOrTreat3D @MyMiniFactory @tinkercad @bcn3dtech This object was made in Tinkercad. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2QV2gKavgf2
