Snowflakes

Lots of tiny snowflakes for some kind of winter/holiday use. The snowflake designs are from a vector-graphics snowflake patterns file on Zezu (http://www.zezu.org/beautiful-snowflake-patterns-vector/). Printing with .3mm layer height makes these one layer thick, which makes printing very fast (about 3 minutes per snowflake). For step-by-step instructions on an easy way to turn a picture into something 3D printable, see MakerHome Day 70: http://makerhome.blogspot.com/2013/11/day-70-snowflakes-part-1.html and MakerHome Day 71: http://makerhome.blogspot.com/2013/11/day-71-snowflakes-part-2.html These are also remixed as thicker, hangable ornaments at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:195032 SNOWFLAKE UPDATE 2014: Now you can Customize your own unique snowflake by making a sketch that "unfolds" into a design, just like when you make paper snowflakes, at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:570339 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 the design of the snowflakes, at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1159436 ===== #####Twitter: [twitter.com/mathgrrl](https://twitter.com/mathgrrl) #####Hacktastic blog: [www.mathgrrl.com/hacktastic](http://www.mathgrrl.com/hacktastic) #####Shapeways geekhaus store: [www.shapeways.com/shops/mathgrrl](https://www.shapeways.com/shops/mathgrrl) *This design and all associated pictures and files are licensed under the [Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/) license.
