Dracula Vampire Halloween Figure With Movable Eyes - Der Nachtschreck

INTRO

This model consists of over 20 parts, designed for multi-part printing and manual assembly (glue will be required). Some small components require extra care during assembly for proper fit and function. Supports are needed for a few components. The models stands approximately 32 cm (12,6 inches) tall and is great for Halloween or any monster-themed display. A fantastic project for anyone who enjoys Halloween decor or animated-style collectibles.

The best part: Figures feature spooky, movable eyes that bring their eerie personality to your display!

PRINTING

Some parts such as “Lower_Face” and “Upper_Hair” require supports for best results. For smaller pieces like the teeth, beard, and eyebrows, it’s a good idea to add a brim to improve bed adhesion and prevent warping or detachment during printing. Don’t forget to print two “Gear” pieces.

Tip: Print some parts in fluorescent PLA for special glow effects under UV light.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is pretty straightforward, and I’ve included reference pictures to help guide you through the process. The trickiest part is the inner mouth section, which is made up of three parts: “Mouth_Middle” and “Mouth_Sides”. Start by inserting the side pieces – they fit very tightly and cannot be removed once assembled, so be sure of their placement (this design choice helps give the mouth a more organic, “natural” look). Take extra care when gluing the teeth parts into the mouth to ensure proper alignment and a clean finish.

Also, note that the eyebrows pop out slightly, adding to the character’s expressive, cartoony look.

With the gears installed and the lower head assembled, be careful not to apply too much pressure when gluing the Upper_Face onto the Lower_Face. Excess force could lead to a blocked eye mechanism. Press gently and ensure proper alignment before the glue sets. 
YOU CAN DO IT :)!
