Vintage Halloween Parade Lantern $100-$150
POSITION FILLED
Hello! I’m looking for someone to create a 3MF file (and possibly print) a copy of this 1920s parade lantern. These were hand-made and are not branded or trademarked in any way.
- The Jack-o-lantern:
- They were originally made of tin, so about 0.6mm thick. 7” tall with a circumference of about 22”. It has 14 vertical “pumpkin ridges” and a slightly textured surface in places. It will be painted, so please print it in black and don’t worry with the painted details. Please make the eyes, nose and mouth as close as you can to the pictures. The original was in two parts that slid open so a candle could be inserted, but this can be in one solid piece. It has a small hole in the top and bottom to accommodate a stick.
- The stick and base:
- Please print a stick that fits snugly through the holes. It should be 12” long, not including the spindle on top. The base should be about 4”x4”x1” (my best guess) square and should accommodate the stick (see pictures). They can be printed together if that’s easier.
- The spindle
- Please print a spindle for the top that looks similar to the one pictured. It should be about 1.5” tall and ac screw onto the stick or attach in some easier way.
Lots of pictures are attached and please don’t hesitate to ask questions. Budget $100-$150. It would be amazing if someone could both design and print it, but I’m not sure if that’s allowed on this sub. Also, use your best judgement if my estimations seem off. Thanks very much!
