Well, not paper, exactly, but you get the idea!
So, I'd had this idea of making a print that would unfold after printing, into a chain much longer than the original build size, and the snowflake seemed an excellent place to try that! There were some challenges - read on!
#####But first, what is this?
So, this is an entry in the BlocksCAD snowflake contest, which means that the model was created entirely from code written in BlocksCAD. What's more, it's constructed in a parameterised way, so that things like the number of snowflakes in the chain can be altered, and a new model produced automatically.
But yes, a paper chain! The chain prints folded, standing up, in a compact box shape. It's entirely assembled, with hinges ready to swivel and unfold.
#####Challenges
Most obviously, the hinge is the tricky thing, here. Now, a hinge isn't a diff
