Super Pumpkin

A pumpkin that turns into a jack-o-lantern when the pedicle is pressed down.

When you insert the stem downward, the face will lean back and light up.

When you pull the stem out, the face will push forward, causing a short circuit and dimming the light.

1. Toothbrush
2. Diagonal pliers
3. Super glue
4. Magnet
5. Mold-making tool
6. File
7. Variable switch
8. Hand drill
9. Epoxy putty

I tried many different ways to make the face work forward and backward.

This uses the positive and negative poles of magnets to achieve this purpose.

It is divided into five parts.

Controlling the tolerance is not easy.

I modified the design file multiple times during the printing process to ensure the printer could output correctly. Remember to lower the support density, or else you'll struggle a lot to remove it.

If you have the money, just ask someone to print and assemble it for you.

There are many areas that need adjustment.

It would be better to modify the design file and reprint, but I'm too lazy to do it.

You'll need to cut, drill holes, and glue some parts.

If you make a mistake, don't panic. Remember to use filler and fast-drying glue.

Don't waste time waiting for the filler to dry for half a day. After applying the filler, just add some glue, and in about ten minutes, you'll be good to continue working.

If you're starting late at night, you might want to grab an energy drink first.

The fast-drying glue and filler will make your hands stick together completely.

If your diagonal pliers are expensive, it's better to buy a cheaper version to use, or else they might break. Alternatively, you can lower the pumpkin density, and then the pumpkin will break.

Different combinations of magnet quantities and types result in different strengths. You can experiment to find the best setup.

Regardless of whether it's useful or how it looks, the fact that you made it yourself is worth celebrating. Have a Coke to celebrate!
