Snowflake Icosahedron Ornament

thingiverse

Instead of opting for traditional 2D snowflake ornaments, elevate your holiday tree's decor with stunning 3D modular geometric snowflake orbs. Inspired by ITSPHUN shapes and nature's organic design, these intricate snowflakes will surely leave a festive impact. Print 19 copies of snowflake_single.stl or one snowflake_top.stl, or go for the all-in-one snowflake_all.stl that fits onto a MakerBot Replicator 2 bed. PLA material with clear finish will give it a realistic look. The print time for this entire design is approximately two hours. To assemble, connect notches together according to the provided picture. Start by connecting five snowflakes in a ring, creating a soccer ball-like structure. If your material feels too tight, scale the model up 105%. For a smaller ornament, you can construct an octahedron using only eight snowflakes instead of 20. Wishing you Happy Holidays and Happy Making!
