Color changing snowflake

thingiverse

This intricate snowflake design is a masterful interpretation of the traditional Kanzashi style, renowned for its exquisite elegance. Crafted to be printed without the need for support structures, it pushes the boundaries of 3D printing complexity. Due to its intricate nature, the edit performance may not be optimal. For those eager to experiment with this design, follow these steps: 1. Set cycle=10 to render one out of six segments. 2. Note that main is faster than main_crop, although the latter produces some extraneous material at the bottom. For an added layer of sophistication, consider incorporating color-changing functionality using 7 WS2811 LEDs and an Arduino board, leveraging the FastLED library for seamless integration. If you're aiming to create a snowflake with backlighting, WS2812 LEDs would be a more suitable choice. To witness this marvel in action, view the accompanying video: https://youtu.be/HgecuKPf85g
