Dalek Pumpkin (Doctor Who Inspired)

"All inferior vegetables are to be considered the enemy of the Daleks and destroyed!"

This is a Dalek Pumpkin inspired by The Doctor’s greatest foes. The title kind of says it all!

Printing and Assembly Notes:

Most parts can be printed with pretty generic slicing profiles. I use 3 perimeters and 10% infill most of the time.

The Bottom Section is a single color piece, but the bumps can easily be painted in most modern slicers using a smart fill, if you have dual-color printing capability.

“Dalek Pumpkin Torso” part requires some support. The best approach is to use manual paint-on supports in the two areas shown in the images.

The head goes on rotated 90 degrees and then rotates to become retained.

The torso rings are not identical. They are numbered using small dots on the upper surface. They should be slid on to the upper torso in the order 1, 2, 3 and pushed down in to place. As they can flex, you may need to rotate the part 360 degrees, gently pushing each region down until they are fully seated all around.

The Eye Stalk Disc should be pressed firmly in to the head with the orientation shown in the illustration.

It holds a 37mm diameter tea light to illuminate the head and eyes. To make sure the eyes light up, print in a transparent filament with no infill. Clear PETG is a good choice for this.
