Pumpkin Walking

myminifactory

Just in time for Halloween, I decided to create a Walking Pumpkin for my wife's office Halloween Party, so this project was my first attempt. With a simple flip of the stem, this pumpkin will walk until the stem is switched off, the batteries run out, an obstacle is encountered, or any gravity-induced fall is encountered (I've unfortunately experienced them all). So what do my wife and her office colleagues think? They love it! Life is good! Thus if you too find yourself in dire need of a walking Halloween pumpkin for your own Halloween Party (and who wouldn't?), then this project is for you!

UPDATE 1: Thingiverse user Alzibiff used a different motor with a longer shaft, so I've uploaded a new left side entitled "Side Left New.stl" that includes a hole for the longer shaft. Thanks Alzibiff! Designed using Sketchup 8, and printed in PLA on a Makerbot Replicator 2 using Makerware 2.3.3.42 "Standard" settings. Hope you like it, and Happy Halloween!
