Eddie's Head – Glowing Skull Lamp & Snack Bowl
Fear of the dark? Not anymore.
This is Eddie's Head reborn as a 3D printed skull lamp.
The eyes glow bright red thanks to a super simple LED hack: no soldering, no resistors, just a cheap battery-powered LED string from the local (Action) store. Two LEDs are pressed into the eye sockets, the rest of the string drops inside the skull for a spooky inner glow. The battery pack fits perfectly inside.
Bonus: the open skull doubles as a snack bowl. Fill it with candy, peanuts, or whatever spooky treats you dare. Visitors will think twice before grabbing a handful.
Features
- Modular design: skull, removable top, pedestal base
- Pedestal available in plain version or with “EDDIE” text highlighted in red
- Translucent red eyes that press-fit tightly (insert at the right angle, it's tight but fits!)
- Spacious skull cavity for battery pack and LEDs
- Hack-friendly: powered by a cheap LED string light (no soldering needed)
- Printed at 0.2 mm layers, 0.4 nozzle, Sunlu PLA 2.0

Step-by-Step Hack Guide 🔧💡
- Print the parts – Skull, top piece, pedestal, translucent eyes.
- Prepare the lights – Grab a battery-powered LED string light.
- Fit the eyes – Press two LEDs into the eye sockets. Keep the correct angle; once aligned, they snap in perfectly.
- Insert the glow – Drop the rest of the LEDs and the battery pack inside the skull cavity.
- Close it up – Put the top piece back on, switch on the lights.
- Snack mode (optional) – Place the insert bowl and fill with peanuts or candy.
Result: glowing red-eyed Eddie, spooky inner light, and a candy/snack dispenser in one. Zero soldering, 100% Halloween-ready. 🎃
Notes
- Print eyes with translucent filament for maximum glow.
- Pedestal can be printed in a single color, or use the separate profile to get the EDDIE text in red with AMS/multi-color.
