I wanted to create a snowflake generator which is easy to use and still produces a good variety of patterns.

The generator tries to emulate the typical "stellar dendrites" pattern. Check this site if you want to learn more about snowflake shapes :)

If you created a pretty snowflake please share it!

If you like this thing please give it a heart and check out my other designs here!

Update Oct. 18th 2018

• Fixed an issue where the aspect ratio of the snowflake could be slightly off (looking a bit "squashed" in one of the dimensions).
• Added more options for the hanger hole, size and shape are now customizable.

Notes: 

I recommend setting your slicer to "outer perimeter first" or similar. This will print the outside contour in one long string first instead of many small internal detail parts. For me this greatly helped with adhesion of the first layer.

Outline variations

Additional variations of the same snowflake are possible by manipulating the outline parameters:

Outline thickness 0

Outline thickness = 0.5

Outline thickness same as total thickness will produce just the outlines without any solid areas!
