Every once in a while, a print comes along that even my wife loves, and that’s saying something! Usually, she humors my endless string of 3D printing experiments (and the mountain of filament that goes with them), but this one? This one stopped her mid-scroll on YouTube.

She looked at me and said, “I want you to print this ghost.”

Challenge accepted!!!!

After grabbing still frames from the video here, I set out to recreate the charming little ghost with the top hat and pumpkin in hand. The result? A smaller, optimized version with a tea-light holder built into the base, and my wife absolutely LOVES it.

Now I’m sharing it with all of you, so you can surprise your own loved one, haunt your home in style, or flex your spooky-season skills.

Print Details

Ghost: Polymaker Silk White PLA (smooth, shiny, and ghostly perfect)

Pumpkin: Geeetech Silk PLA Metallic Gold (because spooky can still be fancy)

Top Hat: Ziro 3D Silver Black PLA (adds that dapper touch)

I’ve tuned this model for my own setup to minimize supports, but you can tweak it however you like. Go wild with your own color combos or lighting effects (glow-in-the-dark eyes look epic!).

Bonus Tip

Drop in a flickering LED tea-light to bring your ghost to life; it gives off that perfect “haunted parlor” glow!
