I was given a challenge at work: decorate a mini-pumpkin.

I am now soliciting awesome Makerspace-related ideas.

Should I 3D print a set of "Mr. Pumpkintatoe Head" parts?

Should I stick it in the laser cutter? CNC route it somehow?

Jam some blinkie LEDs inside it?

Or just stick it in the Egg-Bot?

If you can work out a rotating mechanism, you could raster images on
them with the laser.

Mount an old smart phone in it and play max headroom videos.

My vote is this:

Jam some blinkie LEDs inside it?

 

 

Those ones done/cut in different ‘depths’ give great texture and 3D ‘pop’ (not that kind) especially when lit from inside.

I vote that you use the glow-in-the-dark filament at the 'Space and
make a Mr. Pumpkin-Head...but it's gotta be EEEEVVVVIIIILLLLLL. :D

3D print a very small Linus with blanket to sit with it.

I was just thinking about some kind of pea-soup "Exorcist" pumpkin head thing, and thought it might be rilly cool to have a Linda Blair lawn sprinkler -I realized that I would need a lawn first.
