Snowball Maker

!!! UPDATE V3The snowball clips sold are very large and require both hands to operate, which greatly reduces the efficiency: clamp the snow with both hands, release the clip, and hold the snowball with your hands, slowly, too slowly.Use this, insert your thumb into the round hole, clamp the small ball between your index and middle fingers, grab a handful of snow, and a snowball will be formed. Press it with the other hand to make it stronger, and then you can throw it out (pay attention to safety and do not throw it out) Throw the clip out too)One-piece molding, one model is printed directly. After printing, it can be used together. 0.4mm is reserved for the hinge axis. Under normal printing conditions, the two halves will open and close smoothly.It looks a little small for adults, and the maximum opening angle is about 35 degrees. For hand-made models, it is recommended to adjust the model proportions​. It is 100% usable, but it needs to be refilled several times when collecting snow.The shape of the snowball after pressing it is still gravel-like and is not easy to bond. It may need to be hammered to shape. If it is soft cotton snow, you can directly open it to make a snowball. Children who have had snow battles understand this.This is how children use it. The ball clip can be opened very wide, making it easy to catch snow.Printing does not require support, takes about 2 hours and 11 minutes to print, and uses 51g of filament.If you like this design and would like to say thanks, you can tip me at: https://paypal.me/daniel2033卖的雪球夹子很大，还需要双手操作，效率大打折扣：双手夹雪，松开夹子，用手拿雪球，慢慢慢，太慢了。用这个，拇指插入圆孔，食指中指将小球夹住，一搂雪，一抓，一个雪球成型，另一只手一按，更加结实，然后就可以丢出去（要注意安全，不要将夹子也丢出去）一体成型，一个模型直接打印，打印完之后，合起来用，合页轴预留0.4mm，正常打印情况，两半会很顺滑开合成人使用的样子，略有些小，最大开启角度大约35度，手打的建议调整模型比例​。100%也是可以使用的，只是搂雪时候需要分几次才能​加满。压雪球之后的样子，因为学还是沙砾状，不容易粘合，可能需要敲打才能成型，如果是软棉的那种雪，直接​打开就是雪球。打过雪章仗的小朋友都明白。这个是小朋友使用的样子，球夹可以打的很开，很容易夹雪打印不需要支撑，大约需要打印2小时11分，使用耗材51g国内小伙伴可以关注公众号：3D打印分享https://makerworld.com/en/u/1863115700
