🎃 Pumpkin TwistBox – Halloween Pumpkin Storage Container

A little pumpkin with a hidden surprise!

Meet Pumpkin TwistBox by LayerFox3D — a charming Halloween pumpkin that doubles as a functional storage container!

At first glance, it looks like a simple decorative pumpkin. But give the top a twist, and you'll discover a hidden compartment for your favorite little treasures.

Perfect for Halloween decorations, small gifts, candy, jewelry, coins, desk accessories, or just adding a little autumn charm to your home.

✨ Features

• 🎃 Stylized pumpkin design – a smooth, rounded shape with gently sculpted pumpkin segments.

• 🔄 Hidden twist-lock mechanism – a three-point bayonet-style locking system integrated into the design.

• 📦 Functional storage space – ideal for keeping small everyday items.

• 🖨 Only 2 printable parts – a hollow pumpkin body and a removable lid.

• 🔧 No extra hardware – no screws, magnets, or hinge pins needed.

• 🎨 Single-color friendly – looks great in orange, white, black, or any filament color you like.

• 🍂 Seasonal and everyday decor – works beautifully as a Halloween accessory or an autumn desk decoration.

🔓 How It Works

The pumpkin features a hidden twist-lock lid.

1. Hold the pumpkin body firmly.

2. Align the lid with the internal locking slots.

3. Gently lower the lid into position.

4. Rotate the lid clockwise to engage the bayonet lock.

5. To open, rotate in the opposite direction and lift the lid.

The curved pumpkin stem serves as a convenient handle.

Tip: Do not force the lid. If the fit feels tight, check for first-layer expansion or small printing imperfections around the locking surfaces.
