Micro Snowflakes - from the Snowflake Machine

myminifactory

These tiny snowflakes measure about 15mm across and were produced with the help of the Snowflake Machine. The models are specifically designed for printing on an Ultimaker 2 using ABS and the special .25mm nozzle paired with the Olsson block, at "Ulti quality" 0.04mm layer height. If you're looking for very small snowflakes that have already been tested and are ready to print, then these models are perfect. However, it's much more exciting to create your own unique designs, so feel free to do so using the Snowflake Machine! To achieve 15mm snowflakes, set the "Target Diameter" to 15 in the "Global Size Settings". For this size, you'll need to reduce the number of steps to 4-5 and keep the thickness of the strands low by setting minimal values for "fat" and "organic". You may also want to limit "fuzzy" and "full" parameters.
