100 Snowflakes

cults3d

Human: 100 Unique Snowflakes! No two alike. Print some for quick holiday decorations or just because you can. Bonus: Small Snowflake 000, 101 total! I used Mathematica to generate designs with random parameters. My code creates all 100 designs, checks each for connectedness, and generates STL files in about 13 minutes. I also used Mathematica to make the animated GIF. Snowflake 000 was my test print before generating 100. Among individual STL files are five that contain 20 snowflakes arranged to fit on a 200 x 200 mm print bed for quicker setup. Each snowflake has a diameter of approximately 40 mm, plus or minus about 5 mm, and a thickness of 0.8 mm. All 100 snowflakes (not in order) are shown in the photo with the red tablecloth. If anyone is interested in another unique 100, contact me. I can create and post STL files, though likely won't print them. Snowflake 002 looks like something from Star Wars. After printing 017, I noticed points that look like helmets from a Star Wars character. Also see my Snowflake with Stand. Small Snowflake 000 is available on Thingiverse as a free download, the one in the photo with the quarter.
