Creeper and Tools/Weapons Minecraft Snowflake Ornaments

thingiverse

I've been struggling to print these lately, so I'm adding some photos of my settings and notes. To get them working smoothly, I recommend printing Infill First and adjusting the settings to have external perimeters print before internal perimeters. I use glue stick on the bed, but others suggest blue tape could be helpful. I slow down the first layer significantly and turn up the bed heat a bit if problems arise. Additionally, you'll need to increase the infill/perimeters overlap to ensure all small details are filled in. I only print one perimeter for better filling. Here are two Minecraft-themed ornaments: one styled after a creeper, the other modeled after various tools and weapons from the game - pickax, shovel, and sword. Each snowflake prints in two pieces that fit snugly together. For more design information, visit this Instructable: https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Minecraft-Snowflake-Ornaments/. Both ornaments are also available for sale at my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/MasterofNoneBoutique
