Snowflakes

pinshape

Lots of tiny snowflakes for some kind of winter holiday use can be easily created using vector graphics snowflake patterns from Zezu's website at http://www.zezu.org/beautiful-snowflake-patterns-vector/. For a step-by-step guide on how to turn any picture into a 3D printable object, check out Maker Home's blog at http://makerhome.blogspot.com (days 70 and 71). These designs can also be remixed as thicker, hangable ornaments on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/things/... SNOWFLAKE UPDATE 2014: You can now customize your own unique snowflake by creating a sketch that "unfolds" into a design just like when making paper snowflakes on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/things/... SNOWFLAKE UPDATE 2015: This year you can create algorithmically-grown snowflakes from a random seed and use sliding parameters to control the style and form of your designs on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/things/... with .3mm layer height makes these one-layer-thick, which makes printing very fast (about 3 minutes per snowflake).
