3D Printed Snowflake Decoration

Hi all!

With the festive season fast approaching I decided to make a snowflake Christmas tree decoration using my Silhouette Alta 3D Printer!

First, I brought my design onto the mat and duplicated it.

I added a circle to one of the shapes and then welded the circle to that shape.

Next, I saved the design to my software so I could take them both into my Alta software.

I imported the shape into the Alta software one at a time.

For the one without the circle welded to it I used the knife tool to cut it in half and I printed it twice so I had 4 halves and one whole piece.

These are the shapes when they are printing out.

I printed them out as an extrusion.

Here are all my separate shape pieces ready to fit together.

I used a hot glue gun to fix the snowflake pieces into place.

Then I sprayed it silver with aerosol paint.

Next while the paint was still wet, I covered it in silver glitter and left it to dry.

I am really pleased at the finished product it is very easy to make, it looks pretty and is super sparkly!
