Snowflake Ornaments

thingiverse

These are a set of snowflake ornaments I designed as a gift for my family, inspired by the intricate patterns found in The Flower of Life. To achieve the best results, use the V2 version of each snowflake with precise settings: a layer height of 0.2mm, an extrusion width of 0.35mm, and a minimum shell thickness of 0.7mm. In my previous design, I used a layer height of 0.2625mm, but Cura often overrode this setting, resulting in unexpectedly good prints. However, the top chamfer was too aggressive, causing issues with certain slicers, layer heights, and extrusion widths, leading to incomplete top layers. I've since refined V2 to work seamlessly with a 0.2mm layer height and 0.35 extrusion width.

I hope you enjoy crafting these special ornaments for your loved ones this holiday season. Happy Holidays - Wiley Kyoto
