Our flapping mechanism is quite simple and consisted of a battery cage, a BBC micro:bit, a servo, some crocodile leads and a length of wire.

We re-cut our bat from polypropylene and salvaged the body from our perspex version to act as a platform for mounting our flapping mechanism. In our haste we got our sums wrong and kerf bending became kerf snapping. Not only does it automatically flap its wings but it also highlights how a design fail can turn into a design win. We initially laser cut our bat from a perspex sheet with some kerf cuts along the wing/body join so that the wings would flap. This is my favourite design out of the four projects. 1 x Yellow Flickering Candle 5mm Water Clear LED - 30deg - 5800mCd per pumpkin.The LED is then pushed over the battery and is kept in place by the tight fit of the battery holder. Our design features a little tombstone within the pumpkin which has a space at the back to hold the coin cell battery. Tip: As with the flicker boxes, the LEDs are more effective when they are hidden from view. Although we only had time to print one, we made three designs, each design used the same pumpkin and lid with the pumpkins being overlaid with different DXF files for the face design, we chose DXF over SVG file as they are easier to handle within our CAD software. The above pumpkin design was 3D designed for printing and features the same flickering candle LED that we used in our flicker boxes. Halloween Pumpkin With Yellow Flickering Candle LED: 1 x CR2032 3V Coin Cell per flicker box.1 x Yellow Flickering Candle 5mm Water Clear LED - 30deg - 5800mCd per flicker box.The candle LEDs mimic how fire flickers and look quite effective, especially when the LEDs are hidden from view as they are in these boxes. To light the box, we took the quick route and taped our LED to a coin cell battery and popped it into the box. This allows the light to get out but hides the LEDs from view. Tips: We glued squares of thin white paper inside of each of the design windows. They can be put on a windowsill or suspended in air by attaching thin string or fishing line. You should be able to source suitable card from any stationers or craft shop. These highly effective little flicker boxes were designed in 2D and then cut with the laser cutter from shiny black card.

Near the foot of the article we've also listed some of the other ideas we had that we didn't have time to produce, hopefully some of these ideas will help to inspire your own designs. The download links for our designs can be found within the relevant sections. Halloween 3D Printing & Laser Cutting Projects: We've included download links for all of our design files so you can begin making straight away! Although this isn't a tutorial we've included tips with each of the projects to help you get up and running with as little fuss as possible. We've got a handful of Halloween 3D printing and laser cutting projects to help get you in the mood and maybe give you a few ideas too! With Halloween just a few weeks away there is no better time to begin planning your spooky making activities, we thought we would get in nice and early this year and share some of our designs.
