#####Do you wanna build a snowflaaaake?
Well, BlocksCAD turns out to be a lot of fun! For the snowflake contest, I wanted something a bit more dynamic than just a shape, without losing sight of the original snowflake idea... so I added posability!
#####Ball Joint Fun
As is hopefully obvious in the photos, each snowflake arm has a series of ball joints, designed to allow rotation around the axis of that arm. So, the arm can be twisted and shaped as desired! The shape of the ball joint should prevent any undue movement in other directions, though, to avoid the shape collapsing! Also, the rotating parts are symmetrical across the axis of rotation, so that things remain balanced, and gravity can't mess up your designs.
#####About Those Colours...
You'll notice that my print has some nifty colour things going on! Nothing too tricky, though, just
