Screaming Pumpkin Tealight Holder

The Screaming Pumpkin Tealight Holder is a Halloween decoration built around a simple idea: a jack-o’-lantern face stretched into a scream, hollowed out to hold an LED tealight so the whole shape lights up from the inside. It is a multipart print, so the different colors can be printed separately without needing an AMS or MMU setup.

What does it look like when lit?

Once an LED tealight is switched on inside, the eyes, mouth and side openings glow, which is where the model earns its name. The source material describes this as a strong effect that stands out especially in darker rooms, with the warm light shining through the screaming face. It is meant to be seen at night, on a shelf or table, rather than under bright daylight.

How is it printed and assembled?

The pumpkin is split into parts so each color can be printed on its own, without color-changing hardware. The tealight sits in its own dedicated holder, which screws into the pumpkin, so the LED can be inserted or swapped out easily. The stem is printed separately as well and is simply glued onto the top of the pumpkin after printing. Assembly is described as easy, and the design calls for an LED tealight only, not an open flame.

Where does it fit?

This is a decoration piece, not a functional tool, and it is meant to be displayed rather than tucked away. The sources point to shelves, sideboards, desks or as part of a larger Halloween setup, working equally well as a single glowing accent or as one piece among other seasonal decorations. Anyone building out a Halloween display, or just wanting one striking glowing object for a windowsill, has a straightforward candidate here.

What do you get with the files?

The model is offered as STL files, along with predefined 3MF files set up for Bambu Lab printers. Sektor 7 Studios notes that predefined print profiles are tied to a membership, while the STL and 3MF files are the base assets for printing the model yourself. The design is built for personal use, with commercial use requiring a separate license through the studio.
