    As the best holiday of the year fast approaches, I find myself wanting to cut a couple of foam skeletons to scare the living daylights out of the little kiddies.

    I have found about every skeleton know to man, and some that are not known, but I have not been able to find a good file for the human skeleton.

    Please post one if you have it.

    Thanks
    David

    I found a Mr. Bones image. It will have to be cleaned and converted.

    These would be perfect for the Phlatprinter!
    Anyone working on them?

    Here's another idea from Mjolnir07 on Joe's Hybrid Forum. It really needs dayglow paints and a hidden blacklight in the trees. No CNC or jpg files exist other than his originals, but you can make your own "Tree Monster".

    Sheeesh! I finally got done with the "escapee" skeletons for the lawn (the upper picture).
    It's setup for 1/8" bit, 100 IPM, 6mm thick material, T-tabs, PP I or II (2 sheets of FFF 24X48)

    By the way, both sheets cut-out just fine. I've learned to keep my air-hose handy, just in case something pops free, to quickly blow it away from the rollers. It works pretty well. Attached files [​IMG] Skeletons.zip (1.6 MB)Â

    I've got a note of warning about making my skeletons.
    I got done making, painting and cutting out the set of 5 skeletons, but when I was stacking up all the parts, one guy was completely missing! Well, I searched all over the garage, and found this guy was trying to make a getaway in my wife's car!

    I think I'll leave him there so she can take him to school tomorrow and teach him a thing or two!
    (He does seem to be a bit of an air-head!) ;) Attached files [​IMG]

    OH! They're everywhere! :shock:
    Is it an invasion or an infestation of ghostly skeletons?
    Strange, it seems to happen around this time, every year! :roll:

    Notes: I used the "tubes" that are cut off from the FFF (to separate the sheets) and glued them up the spines of the skeletons, on the back. Then I bought a bundle of 75 landscaping stakes (the 16" long wire kind, with an orange plastic flag) ($8 at Lowe's) and ran one of them through that tube and into the ground.
    I did the same thing along the backside of the bigger "bone" in the legs, to help support them.
    Any water-based latex primer works perfectly on this foam, and the weight doesn't matter. I used white Zinser Bulls-Eye.
    Also, I created the cnc file for my 1/8" bit because I don't remember where I put my 1/16" bit, but it would work a lot better if the file were regenerated for a 1/16" bit. I think all the dropout pieces would stay attached by using the smaller bit, also. :oops:

    btw Trish, I figured there were enough "happy face" skeletons around, and wanted these guys to look more serious about their business.

    Great stuff! I don't know how you guys do it. I'm retired and can't find enough time to get anything done. Congrats, these are dynamite and great fun. Happy Halloween to all!

    I have 2 subdued lights that I am going to put beneath the pumpkins and behind the skeletons, a fog machine to produce, well, fog, and some scary music...It should be a spooky place tomorrow night. Halloween is my most favoritest holiday of them all, I get to make LOTS of kids happy, and sccare the poo poo out of them too!
