Snowman Mold

thingiverse

This model was inspired by a similar one on CloudJ and an article about the "Perfect Snowman". I've linked to both below. I went through several iterations before settling on this design. The mold is perfectly symmetrical, so you'll need to print two identical parts that can easily fit on a 200x200mm platform. I've included an STL file with two complete halves and also uploaded the Fusion 360 file so you can customize it as needed. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:675620 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3404856/Formula-perfect-snowman-Use-three-balls-fresh-snow-make-64-inches-tall-carrot-nose-1-5-inches-long.html Update 10 January 2017: I finally got enough of the right kind of snow to test these and they work great, but there are a few minor adjustments I'd like to make. The first and main one is the keys which currently get filled with snow immediately that gets turned into ice under pressure. I'm thinking of moving them to the sides where only half the sphere would be in the model so the snow can just fall out when putting the two halves together.
