Snowflake

thingiverse

Snowflake was created using BlocksCAD, which proved simple and fun to learn. The object is designed for hanging from a tree, window or any location - hence the inclusion of a torus for tying a string. A single print includes the snowflake itself, with supports/rafts needing to be enabled. I found BlocksCAD engaging, its smart implementation aligning well with other block coding softwares such as Scratch and Makeblock. The actual code is essentially one shape: a line and an X repeatedly rendered on both axes. A screenshot of the utilized blocks is included in this project, but I also appreciate that BlocksCAD allows opening other projects and remixing objects. Anyone interested should open the snowflakex.xml file in BlocksCAD to build upon what's been created.
