When the leaves start to change color outside, it won’t be long until the spookiest season of the year is finally upon us, culminating in Halloween. Although there is still some confusion as to the origins of the popular festival, the celebration takes place on October 31st annually. Halloween is believed to derive from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Today, Halloween is celebrated all over the world, especially by children and horror fans. And with the party fast approaching, let’s take a look at the possible uses of 3D printing for the occasion. Perhaps your Halloween costume this year could be 3D printed? We’ve looked around for you to find the best deals and bring you some popular Halloween mask 3D printing files. Browse through our list to DIY your favorite in time for the Halloween party!

Venom mask
When the second Venom movie hits theaters, many Marvel fans will jump at the opportunity to dress up as Venom, the alien protagonist. To that end, a user on Cults provides the community with a design of the Venom mask with a high quality of detail and a really impressive finish. Regarding 3D printing, the author recommends making the parts with as little infill as possible (10% or 15%). The finished parts should then be sanded and painted to achieve a result that comes as close as possible to the film character. Also, the 3D printed masks can be adjusted to fit adults’ and children’s heads to celebrate Halloween night no matter the age! Download the STL file here.
Two-part demon mask
The next mask reminds us of a demon figure and was sculpted by the Spanish artist Shira. The design consists of two separate pieces that are assembled after printing to ensure jaw mobility. The mask is printed with PLA at 210º. The bottom part is printed with support material that needs to be removed before joining the parts. A rubber band holds the two parts together. The STL file is available for you to download for free on Cults.
Squid Game Masks
The Squid Game is a Korean Netflix series that’s making waves around the world. The original plot is shrouded in mystery due to the masks worn by the series’ characters and their supreme leader. If you want to surprise someone with a Squid Game Mask, this is your chance to 3D print it! For both models, the authors of the files recommend adapting the design to the measurements of each person. In addition, in some cases it is necessary to use printing documents. Here is the file for the guards masks (in circle, triangle and square shapes), and here is the file for the series leader’s mask.
Death Trooper helmet
Dive into the world of Star Wars Rogue One on Halloween night with this Death Trooper helmet. Inspired by the fantasy film series, the designers at 3Demon decided to 3D print the full-size Death Trooper helmet. This project is certainly a bit more involved as the helmet still needs to be painted afterwards to get the glossy black finish. If you want to 3D print the creation yourself, you can purchase the STL file from Cults for around €27.
Dalí Mask (La Casa de Papel)
Another Netflix success in recent years is the Spanish series “La Casa de Papel”. The famous figures in the red jumpsuits and masks of Salvador Dalí trying to rob the Bank of Spain and the Spanish Mint are now known all over the world. This year you can 3D print your own Dalí masks to transform yourself into one of the characters. For manufacturing, the author recommends using a standard thermoplastic such as PLA. Once the mask is printed, an elastic band should be added to hold it on the head. The STL file of the mask can be found here.
Jason Vorhees: Friday the 13th
Whether you like scary movies or not, everyone has heard of Jason Voorhees at some point. The villain from the infamous series Friday the 13th has become an icon with his ominous ice hockey mask, which is mainly associated with the slasher films of the 80s. Now you can use 3D printing to create your own mask that will bring joy (or terror) to any Halloween party. The STL file can be downloaded HERE for €22. However, note that the UVs and textures are not included.
devil mask
What would Halloween be without a devil mask? The embodiment of evil is found in many different cultures, but the most common embodiment in the western world is Satan or Lucifer, a fallen angel turned adversary of God. And if there’s a time when evil is present, it’s Halloween. For this reason we have selected a 3D printed devil mask suitable for anyone who wants to scare their loved ones. What sets this mask apart are its large horns and the fact that it can be printed either as a complete mask or in separate pieces (useful for those who have a smaller build volume!). Although the current model was created for someone with a 220mm head width, the creator advises anyone using the file to do their own sizing calculations before printing. The STL file can be downloaded from Cults HERE for €25.
Joker mask
The Joker is arguably the most famous villain in the Batman series. The STL file features the classic facial aesthetic of Batman’s nemesis, à la Jack Nicholson’s portrayal in Tim Burton’s Batman film. This loving work is by designer Eddie Christian who used 3D software Zbrush which he sliced with Simplify3D. Christian has researched the internet and found that many 3D printed masks offer a low poly style and that there are few realistic examples with perfect smoothing. With this file you are guaranteed to achieve the perfect joker smile.
Venetian mask
If you can’t make it to one of the specialist studios in Venice for your Venetian look, we may have an alternative solution for you. The Venetian mask, featured in films such as Eyes Wide Shut, makes a simple disguise for a festive Halloween look. Spanish designer Sonia Verdu has created a magnificent Venetian mask that pays tribute to Italian tradition. Plus, it’s easy to print without supports. You can paint them however you like and decorate them with glitter and embellishments. HERE you can find the file for free download.
skull mask
Of all Halloween icons, skulls occupy a prominent place. If you want to give the classic bone look a shot, print out this 3D skull model designed by artist Tamarelle. This simple skull mask can be printed out in two parts and looks pretty realistic. Once printed, all you have to do is glue the two pieces together before you can wear them on spooky adventures with other ghosts. This file is also available for free download.
More models can be downloaded from the Cults homepage.
