Bring a touch of spooky fun to your space with this floating ghost 3D model. Designed to appear suspended in mid-air by thin printed strings, it creates a magical effect that makes the ghost look like it’s hovering.  

Halloween decoration or a quirky display piece, this model is easy to print, assemble, and customize for a truly eye-catching result.

Instructions:

The model is multicolored, with the eyes and tongue printed separately for easy assembly and minimal filament waste. 

The eyes are pushed inside and click into place, adding vibrant character to the ghost’s playful expression. It takes some force to secure it, so do this before you glue the bases together.

The suspension strings can be printed in transparent filament for an invisible floating look, or in different colors to match your style. Before you do, dry your filament! I used PETG and you can see there are a lot of hairing and stringing going on and you can not use heat to get rid of them.

Try not to use the Super Tack plate, taking the print off may damage the strings. When you finish printing, LET IT COOL! If you try to pull it off while it is hot, the strings will bend. This is especially true with this model, the body is very thin and fragile, the plate needs to be cold and the print will pop off without issues.


Most models with strings only use a single 0.24 layer high string, I use two. That way, if one fails, the other usually does not. There are other variations on the way, such as AMS painted, strings different color and support for the lamp and waterproof pucks.  But, you also need to have proper adhesion, clean your plate and watch the print so you get the best results possible.

To light it you will need the standard 3AAA RGBW pucks from bambu lab, two in total.

Relatively simple, assemble the two halves using an assembly jig in the profile, it is basically two rings that will fit exactly to the two halves, just make sure you put a paper down so the glue doesn't leak and ruin your table (ask me how I know). There are nubs in the provided bases and it will keep it in place for a desktop stand, but carrying it around without gluing it, is not advised… if you are happy with it and do not wish to reuse the base for my other models, go ahead and glue it.


Also, DO NOT change layer size because then the strings may fail.  Any issues, let me know.
